Pope Francis reveals the "most dangerous" sin
Pope Francis

"Gluttony is killing the planet". This is the warning of Pope Francis, who has singled it out as the gravest sin, citing its destructive impact on Earth.

The Holy Father said that while there is nothing wrong with enjoying meals, people have developed a habit of intemperance when it comes to food.

The Pope has previously warned that the world as we know it is "collapsing and may be close to breaking point" amid rapidly accelerating climate change and the inaction of global leaders. Last October, he named Western developed countries as the main culprits behind the crisis.

Speaking during his weekly general audience, the Pope argued that from a social point of view, gluttony is "perhaps the most dangerous vice that is killing the planet". He stopped at gluttony as the element with which we have attacked during the last centuries the good things of the planet.

He noticed that a growing number of people seem to have an unbalanced relationship with food, which manifests itself in eating disorders. According to the Pope, these disorders are "mainly related to the torments of the psyche and the soul".

"Food is the manifestation of something internal: the predisposition to balance or contempt... the sensitivity of those who know how to share food with the needy, or the selfishness of those who hoard everything for themselves," said the Holy Father.

We recall that in his Apostolic Exhortation in October, the Pope rejected the notion that poorer nations bear the lion's share of responsibility for global warming, pointing out that "per capita emissions in the United States are about twice those of individuals living in China and about seven times greater than the average of the poorest countries".
