Laudato Si: ‘…If we acknowledge the value and fragility of nature and at the same time, our God given abilities, we can leave behind the modern myth of unlimited progress. A fragile world, entrusted by God to human care, challenges us to devise intelligent ways of directing, developing and limiting our power…’ Pope Francis, Laudato Si’ #78
