“May our struggles and concern for this planet never take away the joy of our hope.”
(Laudato Si)

Laudato Si’ is the second encyclical of Pope Francis, subtitled “on care for our common home”. In it, the Pope criticizes consumerism and irresponsible economic development, laments environmental degradation and global warming, and calls all people of the world to take “swift and unified global action”.
