Catholics are being urged to divulge their ‘eco-sins’ during Confession as Bishops launch a new environmental campaign.
As part of an initiative to ensure that the Catholic Church plays a role in tackling the climate crisis, it is encouraging congregants to go to Confession, or “reconciliation services”.
The lay-run campaign, called Journey to 2030, was launched last weekend in partnership with the Bishops’ Conference and the Ecological Conversion Group, a volunteer group for young Catholics.
The initiative aims to “create a sense of urgency towards our ecological crisis and those suffering from its ill effects” as well as promote confession of environmental sins.

Bless me father, for I have sinned ... I threw a plastic bottle into the trash can.
Yeah, I don’t think so.
Don’t kid yourself. All of Christianity is the target. The Catholic Church just happens to be the most visible of them all.
Mentioning actual sins that lead to excessive behavior might remind people that lust, fornication and sodomy are still grievous sins.
I can’t wait to see what attempt is made to rewrite the first and second commandments.
It seems to be proceeding quite well. It’s also the end-game for ending the United States or any free country. When they control the air that you breathe, they’ve got you.
Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It has been three months since my last Confession.
I put three empty beer cans into my regular trash instead of sorting it into the recycling bins.
Being honest in confession, I can’t divulge imaginary sins.
I used a straw in my coke! Mea culpa!!!
