Pope Francis' landmark encyclical, On Care for Our Common Home, is addressed to "every living person on this planet." It challenges each one of us to ask ourselves, our corporations, and our governments: "How can anyone claim they are building a better future without thinking of the environment?" The document is all-encompassing, calling for respect and protection not only of the earth, but also of the dignity and lives of the poor. Pope Francis stresses that "human life is itself a gift which must be defended from various forms of debasement." Proposals for dialogue and action in the encyclical are broad, but are meant to affect international policy as well as individual lives.

The complete text of Laudato Si’,the landmark encyclical letter from Pope Francis that, as Time magazine reported, “rocked the international community” 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. It is, in short, as the New York Times labeled it, “An urgent call to action . . . intended to persuade followers around the world to change their behavior, in hopes of protecting a fragile planet.” With an insightful and informative introduction by Harvard professor Naomi Oreskes, famed for her bestselling Merchants of Doubt: How a Handful of Scientists Obscured the Truth on Issues from Tobacco Smoke to Global Warming.

Praise Be to You: On Care for Our Common Home (Laudato Si')

In his second encyclical, Praise Be to You, Pope Francis addresses every person living on this planet, inviting us to dialogue together about the urgent environmental challenges facing the earth—our common home—and how we can work together protect its fragile resources. He challenges us to think of ecology not merely in terms of the environment, but in light of our fundamental relationships: with God, with ourselves, with others, and with the rest of creation. Caring for our common home involves what Pope Francis calls an ecological conversion. In other words, because taking care of the earth is intertwined with taking care of one another, our encounter with Jesus Christ should be evident in our relationship with the world around us. To Pope Francis this is not be something secondary or optional; we are called to be protectors of the earth, and this is an essential part of loving our neighbor and living a life of goodness. Praise Be to You is a worldwide wake-up call to experience a deeper change of heart and a new way of life as together we shape the future of our planet.
