Help to save the world, Pope tells Australia - National - smh.com.au

Help to save the world, Pope tells Australia - National - smh.com.au:
[The Pope's] message, unexpected and delivered in Italian, called for a spiritual response to the environmental crisis and asked Catholics - especially young people - to find 'a way of living, a style of life that eases the problems caused to the environment'.
Clearly, it was too much to expect even a peep about the root cause of all these "problems caused to the environment": TOO DAMNED MANY PEOPLE eating the fish, fouling the air, chopping the forest, poaching the animals, confining the rivers, draining the swamps, consuming the oil, acidifying the oceans, destroying the reefs and so forth.

A spiritual response. Right.
