In 'Laudate Deum,' Pope Francis presents a compelling climate crisis apologia
-
Description
-
"With a degree of urgency appropriate for the planetary catastrophe we face today, Pope Francis' latest apostolic exhortation, Laudate Deum, 'to all people of good will on the climate crisis,' builds on the important insights of his 2015 encyclical letter 'Laudato Si', On Care for our Common Home.' That the pope has explicitly described the current state of the climate as a 'crisis' could be viewed as affirming what climate activist Greta Thunberg said in her 2019 address at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland: 'Our house is on fire. I am here to say, our house is on fire.' "
