Pope Issues Environmental Encyclical
Pope Francis on Thursday,
June 18th, called for a radical
transformation of politics, economics and individual lifestyles to
confront environmental degradation and climate change. He criticized consumerism and irresponsible development with a plea for a
swift and unified global action.
Francis, the first pope from the
developing world, used the encyclical – titled “Laudato Si”, or
“Praise Be to You” – to highlight
the crisis posed by climate
change. The vision that Francis
outlined in a 184-page Papal encyclical is sweeping in ambition
and scope: He describes relentless
exploitation and destruction of the
environment and says apathy,
reckless pursuit of profits, excessive faith in technology and political shortsightedness are to blame.
The Pope places most of the
blame on fossil fuels and human
activity, while warning of an
“unprecedented destruction of
ecosystems, with serious consequences for all of us” if corrective
action is not taken swiftly. Countries with developed industries
were mostly responsible, he says,
and are obligated to help poorer
nations confront the crisis.
“Climate change is a global
problem with grave implications:
environmental, social, economic,
political, and for the distribution
of goods,” he writes. “It represents one of the principal challenges facing humanity in our
day.”
What distinguishes “Laudato
Si” from previous church docu-
ments on the
environmental crisis is
that it is inFr. Mathew
tended to provoke action – to
cause an enormous “conversion”
in how humans understand their
place and responsibility to a planet
that is in peril.
“In Praise Be to You” Francis
puts forward a profoundly theological document, grounded in
Catholic teaching, but one in
which spiritual and secular matters
are knit so closely together.
“As believers, we do not look
at the world from without but
from within, conscious of the
bonds with which the Father has
linked us to all beings.”
I hope and pray that all us can
read this encyclical and be inspired to do our part to care for the
creation entrusted to us.
