Encyclical on Climate Change and Inequality

Praise for the Encyclical on Climate Change and Inequality An urgent call to action. --The New York Times This breathtaking amalgam of urgency and poetry mines the spirit and appeals to the moral core... That a secular publisher, Melville House, chose to print in its entirety the papal document...bespeaks its relevance beyond the walls of the Roman Catholic Church. --Chicago Tribune The most astonishing and perhaps the most ambitious papal document of the past 100 years. --The Guardian A powerful, prophetic, and personal plea for governments, religions, businesses and individuals to work together to address climate change. --Time The pope's clarion call adds an ethical dimension to a debate too often bogged down in warring statistics and economic arguments . . . His powerful message on climate change should have the skeptics and deniers, who've stood in the way of meaningful action, squirming in their seats and feeling the heat. --USA Today The letter isn't just a manifesto for clergy and bishops, but doubles as a call to action with scientific rational, written in plain language and addressed to 'every person living on this planet.' --Chicago Tribune In his masterful grasp of the science behind climate change, the pontiff unmasks himself as a policy wonk. --The Washington Post A bold act by the pope, the encyclical in many ways reflects a movement that has been growing for decades. --Los Angeles Times
