Fr. James Schall, S. J. on a Totalitarian Ecology

“The pope is a German. He likes to see things well taken care of. He cites St. Francis who told his monks that when they planted a vegetable garden, they were to plant in it also many flowers. As I have often said, we need beauty more than we need bread. The earth should be filled with parks and gardens.”

In a recent commentary, Father James Schall, S. J., Professor of Political Philosophy at Georgetown University, reflected on the the thought that reducing human numbers is the way to keep the world going.
