On the encyclical letter "Laudato Si", by Pope Francis

Abstract

On May 24, 2015, in Rome, next to St. Peter's, Pope Francis published a new Encyclical Letter, which he called "Laudato Si, On Care for the Common Home". Initially, the document aroused enormous interest, probably because of the particular theme it addressed this time. After a few days, this interest, particularly in the media, became more nuanced, to such a degree that this beautiful and important document, I dare to think, will pass without further discussion and analysis by the people. Even, I must say, the Church has made very little diffusion of it, and has commented very little on it.
