Merici College Green Tip #47 - Laudate Deum

On October 4, Pope Francis released his apostolic exhortation Laudate Deum, that completes his encyclical Laudato si’ published in May 2015, and is addressed “to all people of good will on the climate crisis”.

The Pope reiterates and further develops the themes from his second encyclical in which he expressed his “heartfelt concerns about the care of our common home”. 

 “I have realised that our responses have not been adequate, while the world in which we live is collapsing and may be nearing the breaking point.”
