In his comments in the article "Green Pope Says Save Amazon" Archbishop Migliore seems to care more about the environment than saving souls. Also, what is this with the "world's life support systems" comment? I thought the Holy Spirit was the sustainer of life, not Gaia. Migliore is coming across as a ridiculous alarmist.

Meanwhile, in New York, the Holy See nuncio to the United Nations, Archbishop Celestino Migliore, told the international body that "the world needs an ecological conversion".

"The environmental consequences of our economic activity are now among the world's highest priorities," Archbishop Migliore told delegates.

The world's 'economy continues to rest basically upon its relation to nature", and in particular to its impact on the earth's soil, water and climate, the archbishop said.

"It is becoming rapidly ever clearer that if these, the world's life support systems, are spoiled or destroyed irreparably, there will be no viable economy for any of us," the apostolic nuncio said.
