    Did you learn about the concept of Stewardship, and do you think it affected your current politics?

      I did, and kind of? Mostly in that I rejected it. A big unsaid in Stewardship is that humans are somehow above nature or separate from it, and that never sat right with me. I remember it being used to justify the existence of zoos, which always rubbed me the wrong way.

        Hey thanks, I was curious how it hit other people, because the way it stuck in my head growing up basically grew and fused with ideas about climate protection. I'm sure it probably wasn't the intended lesson but :shrug-outta-hecks:

          I mean, I do know other Catholic and former-Catholic climate activists who link what they do to Stewardship, so it's probably not a black and white thing.
