A new rite published by the Vatican on Thursday will allow priests to celebrate a Mass to exhort Catholics to exercise care for the Earth, in the latest push by the 1.4-billion-member global Church to address global climate change.
For centuries, Catholic priests have been able to celebrate special Masses to pray for their country, give thanks after a harvest or ask God to end a natural disaster.
The new "Mass for the care of creation," prepared by two Vatican offices, allows priests to pray that Catholics will "lovingly care" for creation and "learn to live in harmony with all creatures."
"This Mass … calls us to be faithful stewards of what God has entrusted to us – not only in daily choices and public policies, but also in our prayer, our worship, and our way of living in the world," said Cardinal Michael Czerny, presenting the rite at a Vatican press conference on Thursday.
"Pope Leo clearly will carry this pastoral and civil concern forward," Rev. Bruce Morrill, a Jesuit priest and expert on Catholic liturgy at Vanderbilt University in the US, told Reuters.
"This new thematic Mass indicates the Church's recognition of the serious threats human-caused climate change is now fully realizing," he said.
The new Vatican rite comes two days after Catholic bishops from Asia, Africa and Latin America called on global governments to do more to address climate change, publishing a joint appeal that was the first of its kind.

Let me suggest every Christian read the book: "Climate Change : The Greatest Scam in Human History".
Worship God, not "mother nature"
We are called to be good stewards with the environment God has created for us and our use - NOT worship it.
Bunch of willingly ignorant loons. They worship another Jesus.

There’s a mass for praying about a LIE? Yes, the world warmed... slightly, but NO, man did not cause it, and NO, nothing needs to be done about it! Catholics or anyone who pushes the agenda is pushing a lie!
Is there a Catholic Mass for Solar Eclipse Events also. “Please give us back our sun, O Lord!”
Not making fun of God. Just idiots.
Like praying for world peace.
Jesus’ coming sewed division, persecution. They/we KILLED HIM!
How about I pray for a world without do-gooder busybodies?
Is this how souls are saved now, climate indulgences?
I wouldn’t be surprised if there is one or even several- some cul5ish parishes just gotta have their golden calfs
