Pope Leo XIV has introduced the “green Mass” – a church service dedicated to environmental protection – and has also urged all believers to preserve nature, declaring a course toward renewable energy.
This was reported by the Bloomberg news agency.
The Pope has become the new climate champion. He has decided to introduce the “green Mass” – a church service dedicated to caring for the environment. Moreover, the head of the Vatican will make it the first country in the world where all power supply will be provided entirely by solar panels.
This eco-plan involves the construction of a large solar panel near Rome. The Pope called this initiative an example for the entire world and a “common home,” especially after numerous natural disasters that are driving climate change.

The Pope’s initiative supports the moral argument launched by the previous Pope Francis through “Laudato Si,” which calls for responsibility to future generations. Although the Vatican is the world’s smallest country, it is making a significant contribution to combating climate change.
Leo XIV emphasized the importance of praying for those who have not yet realized the significance of fighting environmental pollution. This is especially relevant in times of floods and increasing global temperatures.
The Pope’s view coincides with that of most American Catholics, who believe that environmental protection is one of the church’s most important missions.
As EcoPolitics previously reported, Pope Francis criticized “fools” who deny climate change and do not believe in global warming.
