On Care for Our Common Home

By: Pope Francis, Naomi Oreskes - introduction

Narrated by: Mark Bramhall, Linda Korn

The complete text of the landmark encyclical letter from Pope Francis that, as Time magazine reported, “rocked the international community”

In the Encyclical on Climate Change and Inequality, the beloved Pope exhorts the world to combat environmental degradation and its impact on the poor. In a stirring, clarion call that is not merely aimed at Catholic listeners but rather at a wide, lay audience, the Pope cites the overwhelming scientific evidence of climate change, and does not hesitate to detail how it is the result of a historic level of unequal distribution of wealth.

It is, in short, as the New York Times labeled it, “An urgent call to action . . . intended to persuade followers around the world change their behavior, in hopes of protecting a fragile planet.”

With an insightful and informative introduction by Harvard professor Naomi Oreskes, famed for her bestselling Merchants of Doubt: How a Handful of Scientists Obscured the Truth on Issues from Tobacco Smoke to Global Warming.

A must read

Every person of good will should read what Pope Francis has to say about our responsibility to care for the common good and our common home.

Jesus helped the blind see ,perspective.

the book shows a wonderful perspective, in a time our nuclear society is willfully blinded with mud slinging over abortion , imagination, climate and economics.
the human perspective can be regained and the love of God found on the pages within,and at the local church.

About creation and so much more

Rich reflection on creation, us human beings, and God. Listen to the whole thing, not just the media clips.
