It's not that the church leaders are fighting a futile battle to stop all mining. As a statement of Catholic Bishops from Latin America who met last July in Chaclacayo, Peru began, "the church recognizes the importance of the extractive industries, the service they can provide to mankind and the economies of the world, and the progress they contribute to society as a whole." But, there is a long list of "buts." The bishops' bottom line is that they see an irrational exploitation that leaves a trail of destruction, even death, throughout Latin America.
