Dear friend, I am writing to you because I have a question that I cannot resolve by myself. I am a practicing Catholic and I am convinced that Christianity must also pay attention to what happens in the life of men and therefore also make an attempt to improve the material conditions of life. But – I must confess – that it seems very strange to me to see men of the Church pour so much energy to take sides on questionable practical problems, including the issue of waste. Yet in recent times there has been much talk of a Church that should be as “spiritual” as possible.
