Description

This is the full text of the much publicized Encyclical of Pope Francis that addresses climate change and human responsibility.

From E.O. Wilson:

The reason Francis is so influential, Wilson said, is that “he has that correct sense that humanity is not an entity and a force that’s risen above nature. We’re part of nature. And that’s what the scientists and major conservation thinkers have been saying for generations. Now to hear it from the pope, that we are part of these great systems, and we need to protect them, is very important.”
