Forgetting the salvation of your soul, Cardinal calls on us to save planet

Cardinal Lehmann calls on Germans to economise on car travel during Lent.

The Chaiman of the German Bishops Conference Karl Cardinal Lehmann has asked the Germans to forego car driving in view of the threatening climate change, according to the Bild Zeitung of yesterday. The Cardinal supports the Church’s action in Rheinland Pfalz and Saarland. He recommends that the faithful should leave their cars for four weeks and go either by bus, foot or bicycle.

Lehmann says to the Bild Zeitung.
“Lent running up to Easter invites us to think about our style of living. We should therefore use Lent so that we personally make a contribution to the improvement of the climate. The preservation of creation is a task that concerns us all”
