Stewardship is the idea here. Catholics are called to care for creation as a gift from God and to respect the dignity of every person. Stewardship means using resources responsibly, protecting the environment, and looking out for the vulnerable so that all people can live with dignity now and in the future. It’s about caring for both people and the world, not dominating, exploiting, or simply consuming resources. Domination suggests control without care; exploitation harms others for gain; consumption often ignores long-term effects on people and creation. Stewardship ties together the duty to protect the earth and to honor every person’s worth.
