Pope Francis

VATICAN ( and//www.catholicnewsagency.com/ CNA/EWTN News ) - One of the most challenging scientific questions Pope Francis faces in his new encyclical on creation is that of climate change, which a source close to the document says the Pope addresses in a balanced perspective without taking sides. The great novelty which emerges from the encyclical is that it comes from a shepherd who’s thinking of all those who are his,” a source familiar the encyclical has said. (It) has a big overview, the capacity of helping us walk towards a more integral ecology that is all inclusive and comprehensive.No one ought to feel left out” in the encyclical, he said, No one should be able to say ‘oh, the pope talked to this side or that side’ and say ‘I have a clean conscious because it’s not addressed to me.”The encyclical will be published June 18. Its title, Laudato Si,” means Praised be You.” It is taken from St. Francis of Assisi’s medieval Italian prayer Canticle of the Sun,” which praises God through elements of creation like Brother Sun, Sister Moon, and our sister Mother Earth.”
