"In the "Encyclical on Climate Change and Inequality," the beloved Pope exhorts the world to combat environmental degradation and its impact on the poor. In a stirring, clarion call that is not merely aimed at Catholic readers but rather at a wide, lay audience, the Pope cites the overwhelming scientific evidence of climate change, and does not hesitate to detail how it is the result of a historic level of unequal distribution of wealth."--Provided by publisher.… (more)

The encyclical captures the interconnectedness of social, economic and environmental justice in building and protecting Our Common Home. It highlights the "intimate relationship between the poor and the fragility of the planet".

Interesting. Didn't know he was such an environmentalist. Made a lot of sense -- part of being a Christian is to love the earth and all of its creatures and living things. (

Praise be to him!” – Pope Francis, Laudato Si’ In his second encyclical, Laudato Si’: On the Care of Our Common Home, Pope Francis draws all Christians into a dialogue with every person on the planet about our common home.

StFrancisofAssisi | Nov 16, 2020 |

Laudato si' is the second encyclical of Pope Francis. The encyclical has the subtitle "on care for our common home". In it, the pope critiques consumerism and irresponsible development, laments environmental degradation and global warming, and calls all people of the world to take "swift and unified global action."

StFrancisofAssisi | Nov 14, 2020 |

Our Pax Christi group has been studying this all year. Each paragraph is quite simple, and, taken to heart, life-STYLE-changing. (
