This is a wonderful initiative, but we should encourage one another to go beyond the limitations of both Pope Francis and Bishop Coyne (excellent fellow, evidently, and I am very glad to hear this report about his plans for his diocese), and put anthropocentrism aside. When we talk about "Creation," in the context of a commitment (a commitment the Catholic Church has not made, in spite of some rhetorical professions) to *true* pro-life values, we should understand we are committing ourselves to care for all living creatures: animals, plants, fungi, and the various microbes. Bringing considerations of justice, love, and peace to our daily choices of what to eat is a very good foundation for this Year of Creation. Let's do what we can to avoid complicity in the cruel exploitation of fellow sentient creatures trapped in the food industries.
