yes.Our catholic bishops here in the Philippines called for this too.

We grow rice (mainly organic) here in the Philippines.
Never mind that we need cheap diesel to run farm machinery, ship food to the market, and fossil fuel to make fertilizer (the price of which has tripled in the last year or two).

Translation: the price of rice will be so high that the poor in the city won't be able to afford it.

and the price of transportation for those commuting to work will go up too. Cooking with LPG (Propane) will become more expensive, meaning deforestation to get wood will be the result.

The good news is that the locals except for the elites in Manila etc. don't listen to the bishops, and the bad news is that the young are converting to Protestantism, where they can hear sermons on Jesus and not the environment.

Perhaps it is good news; cf. Romans 11:13-14 (it might work for Catholics too, I'd be happy for the Catholic Church to come back to Jesus first and last)

“the bad news is that the young are converting to Protestantism, where they can hear sermons on Jesus and not the environment.”

Hearing sermons on Jesus is bad news... how?
