Laudato Si'
Laudato Si' ("Praise be to You") is Pope Francis' encyclical on the environment. It is a worldwide wake up call to help humanity understand the destruction that man is rendering to the environment and his fellow man. While addressing the environment directly, the document's scope is broader in many ways as it looks at not only man's effect on the environment, but also the many philosophical, theological and cultural causes that threaten the relationships of man to nature and man to each other in various circumstances.
Drawing on the teachings of his predecessors, Pope Francis teaches that care for the things of the earth necessarily goes hand in hand with our care of one another, specially the poor. The Holy Father invites us to reflect deeply on all points of human activity, whether we consider care for creation at the level of our own individual choices or in the public square. He repeated urges us to renewed and urgent action and honest dialogue about our environment, both social and ecological.
