Humankind, Which Discovers Its Capacity To Transform And In A Certain Sense Create The World Through Its Own Work, Forgets That This Is Always Based On God's Prior And Original Gift Of Things That Are. People Think That They Can Make Arbitrary Use Of The Earth, Subjecting It Without Restraint To Their Wills, As Though The Earth Did Not Have Its Own Requisites And A Prior God-given Purpose, Which Human Beings Can Indeed Develop But Must Not Betray.
