It has always been the view of Catholics to care for creation.Probably most faiths and people believe the same. This is nothing new.

That being said, we cannot change what is coming only mitigate the severity with prayer fasting and penance.

How utterly and miserably and reprehensibly naval-gazingly resigned. Yes we all join in prayer. And then DO something. No one is to pray hard as you like then sit upon the carpet telling sad stories of kings. Prayers cannot be answered without work.
 
How about praying for all those being killed by ISIS? Aren’t they part of creation?
