With the June 2015 publication of the papal encyclical “Laudato Si’,” Pope Francis made our common home—the earth—a top priority for world Catholicism. To help lay individuals understand the meaning of the encyclical and further the pope’s mission to address climate change and promote sustainability, the Rev. James Martin, S.J., of America Media, explains in clear, concise terms the major points of the encyclical. Learn more about “Laudato Si’” and the 2015 Vincent de Paul Lecture on sustainability hosted by DePaul’s Office of Mission & Values in the spring 2016 issue of DePaul Magazine.
