CWN Editor's Note: Caritas Internationalis, the Church’s federation of relief and development agencies, called on the faithful to build “a just and equitable society which would give the possibility for each and every one of us to live in dignity and in harmony with Mother Earth. As Christians, our relationship with the environment can never be isolated from our relationship with others and with God, and COVID-19 must be for us a call to respect our common home.”
