Mix of sustainability and Catholicism.
In the world at large, the millions will be born. The settlements will grow — in squalor and violence, or in work and hope. The whole world — linked by its communications, its airlines, its hijackers and its terrorists — has really only one choice: to become a place worth living in or face ‘the way to dusty death.’ And where else do people live save in their settlements? So where else is the salvation to begin?
