(ANSA) - ROME, SEP 16 - Pope Francis on Saturday called on believers to repent their "ecological sins". "With the help of God's grace, let us adopt lifestyles marked by less waste and unnecessary consumption," the pope said via Twitter in a post with the hashtag #SeasonOfCreation. The pope has spoken out frequently about the need to combat the climate crisis. The message was posted in the run-up to the publication on October 4 of the second version of his Laudato Si' (Praise Be to You) encyclical. In the 2015 encyclical "on care for our common home", the Argentine pontiff criticized consumerism and environmental degradation, and called for action to combat global warming. (ANSA).
