Via The Hill:
The Vatican may end its investments in fossil fuels but has not committed to doing so, a top Catholic Church official said.
The news comes weeks after Pope Francis released an encyclical urging the world to fight climate change and is likely to disappoint activists who want the Vatican to set a better example in that fight, The Guardian reported.
“I think that the Vatican bank may think of initiatives which are at the core of this change,” Flaminia Giovanelli, who serves on the Vatican’s Pontifical Council for Peace and Justice, said at a Wednesday news conference, according to The Guardian.
“So we will see in the future … [divestment] may be considered by the Vatican,” she continued.
