This April 22nd will mark the 40th anniversary of Earth Day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur goal is to use Earth Day to get Americans to think more deeply about what it means to truly respect the Earth and creation,&#8221; said Brian Burch, President of CatholicVote.org Education Fund.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Prevailing environmental attitudes too often view humans as the enemy of nature. We believe the human person is God\u2019s greatest creation, and the Earth\u2019s greatest resource. Building up a culture of life is the single most important way to build a culture that respects the environment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRespect for the God\u2019s creation has a long history in Catholic teaching, long before it became popular with our secular culture,\u201d said Burch.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"640\" height=\"385\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/3Md8StaM1DE&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;color1=0xe1600f&#038;color2=0xfebd01\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/3Md8StaM1DE&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;color1=0xe1600f&#038;color2=0xfebd01\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"640\" height=\"385\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p>HT: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifesitenews.com\/ldn\/2010\/apr\/10041211.html\" target=\"_blank\">LifeSiteNews<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LifeSiteNews.com &#8211; The pro-life group CatholicVote.org says it\u2019s time to use Earth Day to celebrate nature\u2019s greatest gift \u2013 human life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":497,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"generate_page_header":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[68,84,58,23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4450","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-christianity","category-defense-of-innocence","category-roman-catholic","category-sanctity-of-life"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orthodoxytoday.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4450","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orthodoxytoday.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orthodoxytoday.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orthodoxytoday.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/497"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orthodoxytoday.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4450"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.orthodoxytoday.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4450\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orthodoxytoday.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4450"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orthodoxytoday.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4450"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orthodoxytoday.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4450"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
