I was going to say something, saw that the thread got derailed completely and was going to give up but, why not?
I am catholic, so what I say could be biased, but from what I read, I don't think the Pope was comparing the two. He said that humans should care about nature to avoid it's destruction (the rainforests). And he also said that we shouldn't forget about human nature and how certain current ideologies speak about the relativization of human nature (saying genders are merelly cultural constructs, for example) and how that would lead to a "moral destruction" of humanity. Not an actual destruction.
I also tried to find the actual full text, to put in context, but the vatican site only has it in German and Italian. Since, I can't read it, I am posting the links to someone that can (and is interested) read it.
