1 Steps to Act with Creation - Laudatio Si - Action Platform
The video explores the integration of Christian ethical teachings, particularly from the Ten Commandments, Beatitudes, and Jesus’ commandment of love, into various areas of environmental stewardship, animal welfare, and sustainable agriculture. It emphasizes that these ethical principles, rooted in Catholic theology, guide the care for creation, advocating for land conservation, ethical treatment of animals, and sustainable farming practices. Through organizations like the St. Ctii Conservation Center and Fraternity for Animal Respect, and initiatives such as the Farm of Francesco, Catholics are called to practice ecological responsibility, addressing issues like climate change, factory farming, and biodiversity loss. These actions reflect the moral framework of caring for both humanity and all sentient beings, following Pope Francis’ teachings in Laudato Si' on the interconnectedness of faith and environmental ethics?(steps to act).

2Phones. ipads. Houston. We have a problem.
When my dad got his license back in the 1930s the police officer asked him to drive around the block which took less than 5 minutes and he got his driver’s licence. There were real problems with car accidents, so as the decades rolled by the hurdles to get a car license in Australia got much harder. This was in the view to protect and keep safe people.

5Bishop Barron - on the Role of the Laity - in Transforming the World
In his video 'What Are Laity Supposed to Be?', Bishop Robert Barron explores the universal call to holiness for all baptized Christians, emphasizing that the laity, like clergy and religious, are called to live out the evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity, and obedience. Drawing inspiration from Dorothy Day and Vatican II, Barron challenges the notion that these counsels are solely for spiritual elites. Instead, he highlights their relevance for laypeople: poverty as detachment from worldly goods like wealth, power, and honor; chastity as a rightly ordered sexual life rooted in love and selflessness; and obedience as attentiveness to God's higher voice amidst worldly distractions. He underscores the transformative power of these virtues, suggesting that if every Christian embraced them, society would be revolutionized—dismantling industries like pornography, combating human trafficking, and healing broken relationships. Ultimately, Barron calls for Christians to embody these counsels to sanctify and transform the world, fulfilling the mission envisioned by Vatican II.
