Laudato Si
On Care for Our Common Home
(Author) Pope FrancisIn his second encyclical, "Laudato Si': On Care for Our Common Home", Pope Francis draws all Christians into a dialogue with every person on the planet about our common home. We as human beings are united by the concern for our planet and every living thing that dwells on it, especially the poorest and most vulnerable. Pope Francis' letter joins the body of the Church's social and moral teaching and draws on the best scientific research, providing the foundation for "the ethical and spiritual itinerary that follows".
