Can Faith Truly Drive Global Sustainability? Ten years ago, Pope Francis issued a revolutionary encyclical, Laudato Si, urging humanity to care deeply for our common home. But has it truly made a difference? Today on The Sustainability Journey Podcast, I had the profound honour of speaking with Dr. Lorna Gold, Executive Director of the Laudato Si Movement. Lorna shared how Laudato Si is more than a Catholic teaching—it's become a universal call to action, uniting people across faiths, inspiring thousands of grassroots leaders, and challenging institutions to become sustainability champions.
Pope Francis centered the climate crisis during his papacy, highlighting the moral obligations that we all share to our fellow humans (especially the poorest among us, as they will be disproportionately impacted by climate change) as well as our responsibilities to the Earth itself. In 2015, Pope Francis released his first encyclical, Laudato si': On Care for Our Common Home, a 40,000 word treatise on both the Biblical mandate to care for creation but also a holistic discussion of the effects of modernity on the ecological function of the planet. While the encyclical became part of the Catholic Church's official teaching, the encyclical was written for both believers and nonbelievers.Catholics are continuing to work together to address climate change through the Laudato Si' Movement, a nonprofit that joins over 900 Catholic organizations and over 10,000 trained grassroots leaders known as Laudato Si' Animators to “inspire and mobilize the Catholic community to care for our common home and achieve climate and ecological justice”Anna Johnson, North American Director of the Laudato Si' Movement, joins the program to discuss Pope Francis' lasting legacy of climate action.Interested in joining fellow Catholics for Climate Action?

Tầm nhìn Kinh tế Đạo đức của Giáo hoàng Francis - Một Lời Kêu Gọi Cải Cách Hệ ThốngGiáo hoàng Francis không chỉ là một lãnh đạo tôn giáo mà còn là một nhà phê bình sắc sảo về hệ thống kinh tế toàn cầu. Với góc nhìn từ Mỹ Latinh, ngài chỉ trích chủ nghĩa tư bản hiện đại vì đã đánh mất la bàn đạo đức, đặt lợi nhuận trên con người và dẫn đến bất bình đẳng, nghèo đói, cùng suy thoái môi trường. Thay vì bác bỏ hoàn toàn chủ nghĩa tư bản, ngài kêu gọi tái định hướng kinh tế dựa trên nền tảng đạo đức, nhấn mạnh rằng kinh tế không chỉ là kỹ thuật mà là một hệ thống phản ánh các giá trị nhân văn.Giáo hoàng Francis gọi hệ thống kinh tế hiện nay là “một nền kinh tế loại trừ và bất bình đẳng” – một hệ thống “giết chết” khi phục vụ lợi ích của một số ít thay vì cộng đồng. Từ trải nghiệm ở Argentina, ngài chứng kiến sự tàn khốc của bất công kinh tế: cộng đồng tan rã, bất bình đẳng gia tăng, và các tệ nạn xã hội lan rộng. Ngài chỉ trích sự tập trung của cải, cho rằng thị trường, thay vì tạo ra giá trị chung, đang trở thành công cụ bóc lột. Quan điểm này thách thức các giả định tân cổ điển về tính tự điều chỉnh của thị trường, khẳng định rằng nghèo đói và bất công là “tội lỗi cấu trúc” cần được sửa chữa.Trong thông điệp Laudato Si', Giáo hoàng Francis gắn kết kinh tế với sinh thái, coi suy thoái môi trường là hệ quả tất yếu của một nền kinh tế biến thiên nhiên thành hàng hóa và bỏ rơi người nghèo. Ngài gọi Trái Đất là “người nghèo bị ngược đãi nhất”, nhấn mạnh rằng kinh tế và sinh thái là hai mặt của trách nhiệm đạo đức. Cách tiếp cận này không chỉ phê phán mô hình tăng trưởng vô hạn mà còn kêu gọi một nền kinh tế tôn trọng cả con người lẫn thiên nhiên.Giáo hoàng Francis không dừng lại ở phê bình mà đưa ra tầm nhìn về một nền kinh tế dựa trên đoàn kết, công lý và quản lý sinh thái. Hội nghị Kinh Tế của Francesco năm 2020 là minh chứng cho nỗ lực này, khuyến khích các nhà kinh tế đặt câu hỏi cơ bản: “Chúng ta muốn loại thị trường nào, và vì ai?”. Ngài kêu gọi tái thiết hệ thống kinh tế từ nền tảng đạo đức, thay vì chỉ sửa chữa bề mặt. Các đề xuất cụ thể bao gồm từ bỏ độc quyền sở hữu trí tuệ trong y tế (như vắc-xin COVID-19) và xóa nợ cho các nước đang phát triển, xem đó là vấn đề công lý hơn là từ thiện.Tầm nhìn của Giáo hoàng Francis không phải là một sáng tạo riêng lẻ mà nằm trong truyền thống tư tưởng kinh tế nhân văn. Ngài chia sẻ quan điểm với các nhà kinh tế như Joseph Stiglitz, Amartya Sen, và Thomas Piketty, những người nhấn mạnh công lý, năng lực con người, và quản trị dân chủ trong kinh tế. Ngay cả Adam Smith, với lời cảnh báo về sự đồng cảm và lòng tin, được ngài viện dẫn để nhắc nhở rằng kinh tế phải phục vụ lợi ích chung. Quan điểm này bác bỏ ý tưởng về kinh tế “trung lập giá trị”, khẳng định mọi chính sách đều phản ánh một hệ giá trị đạo đức.Là tiếng nói cho Thế giới phía Nam, Giáo hoàng Francis đã trở thành một lực lượng đạo đức toàn cầu, nhắc nhở thế giới rằng kinh tế tồn tại để phục vụ con người và phẩm giá. Di sản của ngài nằm ở việc đặt nền móng cho một hệ thống tài chính quốc tế công bằng hơn, thông qua các sáng kiến như Ủy ban Năm Thánh. Trong bối cảnh khủng hoảng toàn cầu, thông điệp của ngài mang tính cấp bách: kinh tế cần được “cứu chuộc” bằng cách đặt công lý, đoàn kết và trách nhiệm sinh thái làm trung tâm. Thách thức đặt ra là liệu thế giới có sẵn sàng đáp ứng lời kêu gọi tái định hình này hay không.Tầm nhìn kinh tế đạo đức của Giáo hoàng Francis là một lời cảnh tỉnh mạnh mẽ, thách thức các nhà kinh tế và lãnh đạo toàn cầu nhìn nhận lại mục đích của kinh tế. Bằng cách kết nối bất công kinh tế, suy thoái môi trường và trách nhiệm đạo đức, ngài không chỉ phê phán mà còn truyền cảm hứng cho một mô hình kinh tế nhân văn hơn. Trong một thế giới đối mặt với bất bình đẳng và biến đổi khí hậu, thông điệp của ngài không chỉ là lý thuyết mà là kim chỉ nam cho hành động, hướng tới một tương lai công bằng và bền vững.

10 Jahre Laudato Si - ein Vermächtnis von Franziskus by Bistum Hildesheim
El último peldaño (02/05/2025) SEDE VACANTE: ¿EL CÓNCLAVE DEL ÚLTIMO PAPA? El mundo ha despedido a un líder que marcó una era en la Iglesia Católica. El Papa Francisco, el primer pontífice hispanoamericano, deja un legado donde abogó por la humildad, la justicia y el compromiso con los más vulnerables. Desde su histórica encíclica "Laudato Si", que puso el medioambiente en el centro del debate global, hasta su incansable lucha por los derechos de los emigrantes y los pobres, su pontificado estuvo lleno de momentos que desafiaron lo establecido y abrieron nuevas puertas para la Iglesia. Pero su muerte también reaviva una antigua profecía: la de San Malaquías, un arzobispo irlandés del siglo XII que, según algunos, predijo el número exacto de papas hasta el fin de los tiempos. Francisco ocuparía el puesto 112 en la lista, el último “Pedro el Romano”, quien, según la profecía, guiaría a la Iglesia en tiempos de tribulación. ¿Estamos ante el cumplimiento de esta visión? ¿Qué nos depara el futuro del Vaticano? El pasado 21 de abril, cuando el planeta se enteraba de la muerte del pontífice, “El último peldaño” estaba en Roma. La suerte (o el destino) nos permitió vivir esa jornada histórica en plena Plaza de San Pedro, en Vaticano. En este programa especial, analizaremos los hitos de su liderazgo, el impacto de su partida y el misterio que rodea su sucesión. Para ello contamos con Bernardo Pérez Andreo (Doctor en Teología y Filosofía, escritor, dirige el Departamento de Filosofía y Sociedad en el Instituto Teológico de Murcia. Asimismo, coordina el Máster y el Programa de Doctorado en Teología, fruto de la colaboración entre el instituto y la Universidad de Murcia); Carlos Alberto Iurchuk (Investigador, divulgador y director del canal argentino “Demonios”); José Ignacio Carmona (Escritor, investigador, conferenciante y experto en simbolismo) y Francisco Barrera (Investigador, Presidente de la S.I.B. “Betelgeuse” de Granada y colaborador del programa), con el que también hablamos brevemente sobre "grandes apagones y OVNIs" .

TRANSCRIPT Welcome to Popeular History, a library of Catholic knowledge and insights. Check out the show notes for sources, further reading, and a transcript. Today we're discussing another current Cardinal of the Catholic Church, one of the 120 or so people who will choose the next Pope when the time comes. The thirteenth of sixteen children, Leonardo Ulrich STEINER was born on November 6, 1950 in Forquilhinha, a community in Brazil's second southernmost state of Santa Catarina. He's our third Brazilian Cardinal, but he won't be our last, in fact one of his cousins is fellow Brazilian Cardinal Paulo Evaristo Arns. Leonardo joined the Franciscans in 1972 at the age of 21, making his solemn profession in ‘76. In a pattern we've seen before, he studied philosophy and theology in Brazil, then went to Rome for more advanced studies, obtaining a licentiate and then a doctorate from the Antonianum. I don't know if I've emphasized the Franciscan affiliation of the Antonianum before, but it's certainly there–the Anthony it's named after is the Franciscan Anthony of Padua, after all. When Leonardo was ordained in 1978, it was carried out by his Cardinal-cousin I mentioned earlier, fellow Franciscan and then-Archbishop of São Paulo Cardinal Arns. He did pastoral work for a while, then he served as a formator at, uh, a seminary. From 1986 till 1995 Father Steiner was Master of Novices at, *a* seminary, presumably the same one, though that's not especially clear. The third source I checked for this particular detail described the posts he took up at the Antonianum in Rome in 1995 as the result of a transfer between institutions, so it I guess can rule that out as our mystery institution. While at the Antonianum, he served as a secretary–I expect the high level kind–and as a professor of Philosophy. He was in Rome for several years before moving back to southern Brazil in 2003. Back home, he served both as a pastor and lecturer, this time at the Bom Jesus Faculty of Philosophy, “bom” meaning "good” or I would perhaps suggest “sweet Jesus” as the more familiar English phrase with a close meaning. In 2005, Father Steiner's white phone rang and he learned he was being made Bishop-Prelate of São Félix. His episcopal consecration was carried out by none other than his longserving cousin, Cardinal Arns, who had been fully retired for years by that point, but apparently didn't mind making it a family affair. By the way, the voice on the other end of that white phone must have been fairly shaky, because Pope John Paul II died in the few months between the appointment and Bishop Steiner's actual consecration. Oh, also, did you catch that Prelate part of “Bishop-Prelate”? You see, São Félix was not and actually still is not a full-on diocese, rather it's at an intermediate sort of state called a “Territorial Prelature”. To give you an idea of why it's in an unusual state canonically, let me give you some stats. São Félix covers an area larger than England, with a total population of a bit under 200,000. At the time of his consecration, Bishop-Prelate Steiner had about ten priests to work with to address the spiritual needs of about 130,000 Catholics. The relatively sparse population is due to São Félix being on the edge of the Amazon Rainforest. This was not Bishop-Prelate Steiner's last contact with Amazonia. In May 2011 he became secretary general of the Brazilian Episcopal Conference, a post he held for the next eight years, and later on in 2011 Bishop-Prelate Steiner was appointed as an auxiliary bishop of the capitol, Brasília, working alongside Cardinal da Rocha, who we discussed in fall 2023. In 2017 Pope Francis announced the Synod on the Amazon, something which Bishop Steiner had apparently personally handed Pope Francis a document requesting on behalf of the Brazilian bishops. The Synod was duely held in 2019, and had a special focus on the indigenous peoples of the area, who, to quote Pope Francis, are “often forgotten and without the prospect of a serene future”. Another substantial issue is the ecology of the matter, with Pope Francis being known as an environmentalist before and certainly no less so after his 2015 encyclical Laudato Si, which called out the Amazon specifically as in need of special care. Bishop Steiner notably did *not* participate in the synod. I was fully expecting to say he had, and maybe I missed something, but the list of hundreds of official participants is linked in the show notes, and he's not on it. In reality his delivery of the bishop's request for the Synod was probably due to his formal role in the overall Bishop's conference and not due to his own connection to the region, which at this point was minor. However, despite that narratively inconvenient historical fact, later that year Bishop Steiner did become a full-on Amazonian bishop, being appointed the Archbishop of Manaus in the rather pointedly named Brazilian state of Amazonas. There he got to experience the staffing and geographic issues he had seen in his Bishop-Prelate days on a larger scale: there's a reason the Amazon Synod discussed things like allowing for married priests to help with the shortages, something which was much discussed in media coverage but was in truth only a minor topic in the Synod itself. One real fruit of the Amazon Synod was the establishment of the Ecclesiastical Conference of the Amazon. Adding yet another organizational wrinkle to the megacluster of organizational wrinkles that is the Catholic Church, an *Ecclesiastical* Conference functions like a Bishop's Conference, but is not limited to Bishops. In 2022, Archbishop Steiner became its First Vice-President. In yet another example of the organizational wrinkling I just joked about, I don't mean he's the first person to hold that office, instead, “First Vice-President” is his actual title, as the Ecclesiastical Conference actually has multiple Vice-President roles. I've been fairly brief and matter-of-fact in my descriptions here, so I want to end on a more human note, as there is real struggle in Amazonia. So let's hear from another Vice-President of the Ecclesiastical Conference, Sister Manso Pereira. A descendent of the Kariri Brazilian tribal group, Sister Manso Pereira recently related a conversation she had with the Karipuna people about the danger they face from armed groups of illegal logging and mining companies. Quote: “We sleep well when you are here, because you're with us.' I said, ‘Why? If they come for you to kill you, they're going to kill me, too.' And they said, ‘We know if you went missing, the church would come looking for you. They would know you were gone.'” In 2022, Pope Francis made Archbishop Steiner the first Cardinal from the Amazon region, also adding him to the Dicastery for the Institutes of Consecrated Life and the Societies of Apostolic Life. Leonardo Ulrich STEINER is eligible to participate in future conclaves until he turns 80 in 2030. Today's episode is part of Cardinal Numbers. Stay tuned to see if today's Cardinal gets selected for a deeper dive in the next round! Thank you for listening; God bless you all!

La Columna de Espido Freire. Conocer al Papa Francisco a través de los libros. En una semana marcada por la celebración del Día del Libro, también despedimos al Papa Francisco, un pontífice que dejó una huella significativa en el ámbito literario. Fue el primer Papa en escribir y publicar su propia autobiografía, Esperanza, una obra que narra su vida desde las raíces italianas de su familia hasta su pontificado, incluyendo experiencias durante la dictadura militar argentina y la pandemia de COVID-19. Además de su autobiografía, Francisco fue autor de numerosas obras que abordan temas como el amor, la justicia social y el ecologismo, destacando encíclicas como Laudato Si' y Dilexit Nos. Este enfoque literario permite conocer una faceta menos conocida del Papa, quien fue, además, lector de la propia Espido Freire.
Pope Francis, outspoken voice for climate and the environment, passed away on Monday, April 21st. Throughout his reign as leader of the Catholic Church, he was very clear in his views on climate change as a real factor in today's world, and expressed that we must understand and respond to these problems for our future survival. In 2015, Pope Francis issued a papal encyclical entitled "Laudato Si--on Care of our Common Home" in which he addressed the moral imperative to steward our natural world for the benefit of succeeding generations. At many times in the address, he mentions fresh water and oceans; this week on World Ocean Radio we revisit some of the Pope's ideas and perspectives that demonstrate a deep reverence for natural systems. About World Ocean Radio World Ocean Radio is a weekly series of five-minute audio essays available for syndicated use at no cost by college and community radio stations worldwide.

This week the world has come together to mourn the death of Pope Francis, who died on Easter Monday, age 88. As speculation mounts about who will replace him, and whether they will be a reformer or traditionalist, we want to reflect on Pope France's contribution to the climate movement and the change he drove around the world, not just across the 1.4 billion Catholics he led, but beyond to other religions and cultures too. Pope Francis was an unapologetic environmental advocate, and he used his papacy to raise awareness about the critical need to curb greenhouse gas emissions. While many believed he shouldn't discuss it, because it was considered ‘political,' the Pope said that climate change was a spiritual issue, and he clearly laid out the consequences of not tackling it in his 2015 “Laudato Si” - the first-ever papal encyclical focused solely on the environment. In it, he discussed climate change, loss of biodiversity to water scarcity, as well as societal breakdown, and how the poorest would suffer the most. A follow-up “Laudato Si” was published in 2023, and in this, Pope Francis called for a broad change in the “irresponsible lifestyle connected with the Western model.” So, we must ask - did we listen? Because global emissions have kept rising, including record emissions released in 2024. One positive sign of the Pope's contribution is environmental leaders from around the world acknowledging the impact he had in waking the world up to the dangers we face, leaving a legacy firmly entrenched in the climate movement. The Pope was a climate activist. We had two very special guests join us. Clare Westwood, who is a powerhouse in the climate movement, and regional director of the Roman Catholic Episcopal Commission for Creation Justice of Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei, and the Co-Founder and Executive Chair of Laudato Si' Asia – a Coalition for Culture of Care, Resilience and Ecological Justice (LSIA-CAREJ). Dr Lorna Gold is the Executive Director of the Laudato Sì Movement. Lorna's focus is on supporting the team at a time of significant change, amplifying the intersection of faith and environmental stewardship. Since 2015, LSM's team's dedication has cultivated a global network advancing ecological conversion. Dr Gold's tenure as Interim CEO at FaithInvest fortified her resolve to align faith-based investments with environmental and social sustainability, pioneering strategies that resonate with shared values for a healthier planet.We'll be discussing the Pope's legacy and a lot more of the environmental news we think you should be aware of, including the economic and geopolitical situation the world is currently in, so come and join us, 25th April, 8am UK, 2pm TH, 3pm SG, 6pm AEST.

The most beautiful words in data journalism - except for free coffee - are longitudinal study. Polling often obscures more than it illuminates. Questions can be vague or misleading. If you ask, "Do you approve of the president's handling of immigration?" the respondent will base their answer on whatever they think the president's immigration policy is. And polls are just a snapshot. With the stock market and egg prices hopping up and down like a rabbit on hot coals, someone's opinion on the economy may be out of date before the next sunrise. But a longitudinal study - in which you ask the same questions or observe the same group for a long period of time, even decades - removes volatility. And if the questions have a range of possible answers, as opposed to "yes" or "no," you get a more nuanced picture of how people are feeling. My favorite example of this is a poll that the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication has conducted at least once a year for nearly 20 years. Instead of asking people if they believe that climate change is real and primarily caused by humans, it asks them to put themselves into one of six categories: Alarmed, Concerned, Cautious, Disengaged, Doubtful or Dismissive. Sometimes, for fun, I ask friends to guess what percentage of Americans think climate change is a hoax. The answers range from 30 percent to 80 percent. In fact, according to Yale's surveys, it's about 10 percent; the Dismissive group fluctuates between 9 percent and 12 percent. Doubtful has also remained steady at 12 percent. If you think climate change isn't real, or even if you're not sure, nothing in the past 20 years - the avalanche of studies, the hotter summers, the heavier storms, the droughts, the wildfires, the floods, the lack of snow, species on the verge of extinction - has made you change your mind. That is why I don't write too many columns trying to "convince" people that climate change is real. What has changed is that the Cautious (18 percent) and Concerned (28 percent) groups have shrunk while the Alarmed group has grown (26 percent). The problem is that nearly everyone in the Dismissive group seems to have a podcast, a gig on cable news, a paycheck from a fossil fuel company or a desk in the White House. For the sake of comparison, a 2021 poll by the University of New Hampshire found that 12 percent of Americans believe the moon landings were faked, and last I checked we weren't reorienting the economy and manufacturing sector around that (knock on wood). The contrast gets even starker when you zoom out. A 2024 poll from Oxford University found that 89 percent of people around the world want their governments to do more to mitigate climate change. Do you know how hard it is to get 89 percent of people to agree on anything? We can't even get that many people to agree that the moon landings happened. If you'll forgive me for writing about the Pope for two columns in a row, I was struck this week by how often people who work in climate said, in the wake of Pope Francis' death on April 21, that it was his 2015 encyclical letter Laudato Si': On Care for our Common Home that gave them the courage to get involved in climate in the first place. They had thought that caring about the climate was a fringe belief. But if the head of a faith-based, conservative, 2,000-year-old global institution was taking the science seriously, maybe it was mainstream. As the Trump administration continues its attempts to roll back environmental regulations, there's a temptation to throw up your hands. "He won the election, so I guess this is what the country wants." But the Oxford poll found that two-thirds of Americans think this country should do more about climate. If the country is going to make any progress on climate over the next few years - or at least stop the backsliding - the silent majority in the Highlands and around the country and world needs to make itself heard. This column is part of The 89 Percent Project, an initiative ...

A proteção da natureza e do meio ambiente perde um dos seus defensores mais influentes: o papa Francisco colocou a crise ecológica no foco da sua liderança da Igreja Católica. As mensagens do pontífice em favor da preservação do planeta, amparadas pela ciência, ecoaram muito além dos 1,4 bilhão de fiéis no mundo. Lúcia Müzell, da RFI em ParisDos novos paradigmas conceituais para alertar sobre a destruição do planeta à primeira viagem de um papa à Amazônia, passando pela valorização inédita dos povos indígenas, Francisco incorporou na liturgia cristã as constatações da ciência sobre o aquecimento global e os seus efeitos devastadores nas populações, principalmente as mais vulneráveis. No mesmo ano em que seria assinado o Acordo de Paris sobre o Clima, em 2015, o papa publicou a Carta Encíclica Laudato Si, na qual introduziu o termo "ecologia integral”, a interconexão entre os sistemas sociais e naturais. Para ele, a humanidade é uma parte de um ecossistema mais amplo – e as suas ações afetam o ambiente.O pontífice argentino multiplicou os apelos para que homens e mulheres cuidassem melhor da “nossa casa comum”, a Terra. “A humanidade perde uma grande liderança que buscava sempre nos sensibilizar para o cuidado da casa comum e de nos recordar que tudo está interligado: uma coisa que acontece na região amazônica vai ter consequências no sudeste do Brasil, no sul da América do Sul, mas também na Europa”, afirma o padre jesuíta Adelson Araújo dos Santos, professor de Teologia da Pontifícia Universidade Gregoriana de Roma.“Ele mostra que isso está intrinsecamente ligado com a nossa fé, na medida em que Deus é o criador de tudo e nós não somos proprietários de nada: somos meros administradores e devemos cuidar bem da obra de Deus”, explica ele, segundo a fé católica.Proximidade com a ciênciaO cientista Virgilio Viana, superintendente da Fundação Amazônia Sustentável (FAS), foi o primeiro brasileiro a integrar a Pontifícia Academia de Ciências Sociais do Vaticano, um seleto grupo de especialistas – entre eles, 35 prêmios Nobel – que orientam o papa sobre diversos ramos da ciência, incluindo os ambientais. Doutor em Biologia por Harvard e pós-doutor em Desenvolvimento Sustentável pela Universidade da Flórida, Viana teve diversas oportunidades de debater sobre a crise climática com Francisco.“O papa fala não apenas da ecologia integral como fala da necessidade de repensarmos a economia. Não é uma mensagem apenas ambientalista: é um pensamento muito ancorado numa visão holística, sistêmica, que percebe, a partir da visão da ecologia integral, que os nossos hábitos de consumo, o nosso estilo de vida, estão conectados com a crise global”, indica. “Nós precisamos de uma profunda reflexão, enquanto indivíduos e enquanto atores econômicos e políticos, que temos impacto, com as nossas decisões, no futuro do planeta”, complementa.Oito anos depois da Carta Encíclica Laudato Si, Francisco voltou a se aprofundar no tema com a Exortação Apostólica Laudate Deum, esta específica sobre as mudanças climáticas. Jorge Bergoglio demonstrou, mais uma vez, o seu apreço pela ciência, observa o padre Adelson.“Ele se preocupou em chamar o mundo da ciência para escutá-lo, e isso gerou, no meio científico, uma admiração pela sua pessoa. Eu acredito que isso é algo para a gente não perder. É uma lição que fica: a nossa fé não é fechada em si mesma, ela é dialogal”, analisa o teólogo.O pontífice costumava enviar mensagens aos participantes das conferências das Nações Unidas sobre as Mudanças Climáticas (COPs) e chegou a planejar ir pessoalmente à COP28 em Dubai, em 2023, mas teve de cancelar a viagem por razões de saúde. Em sua última mensagem aos fiéis brasileiros, em fevereiro, na ocasião do lançamento da Campanha da Fraternidade sobre a ecologia integral, mencionou a importância da Conferência de Belém, em novembro. Francisco desejou que, no evento, "as nações e os organismos internacionais possam comprometer-se efetivamente com práticas que ajudem na superação da crise climática e na preservação da obra maravilhosa que Deus nos confiou e que temos a responsabilidade de transmitir às futuras gerações".Sínodo para a Amazônia e valorização indígenaA noção da proteção do planeta está longe de ser nova na Igreja: foi introduzida por São Francisco de Assis, inspirador do papa argentino, há mais de 800 anos. Pouco a pouco, o tema ganhou importância após a doutrina social da Igreja, no fim do século 19. Com a publicação de Fides e Ratio (“Fé e Razão”), em 1998, João Paulo II pedia que a fé fosse amparada pela ciência, e vice-versa.Mas foi sob Francisco que a temática ganhou uma nova dimensão, como quando anunciou a realização do Sínodo para a Amazônia e viajou, pela primeira vez na história da Igreja, para o coração da floresta. Em Puerto Maldonato, no Peru, escutou os “guardiões da floresta”.“Ele pôde ouvir de diversos povos indígenas a visão deles sobre a natureza, a preservação da floresta e a ação do ser humano. Eles são os primeiros a sofrerem quando veem seus rios poluídos, diminuírem os seus peixes e verem suas florestas incendiarem”, salienta Araújo dos Santos, ligado à arquidiocese de Manaus e autor de “Os passos espirituais do caminho sinodal”, sobre o legado do evento. “Há uma sabedoria, de fato, nas tradições dos povos originários que o papa Francisco percebeu, com muita sensibilidade e uma abertura imensa.”No momento em que a Igreja se prepara para eleger um sucessor, Virgilio Viana avalia que, apesar do fortalecimento do discurso negacionista em diversos países e governos, o Vaticano não deverá recuar neste caminho.“Eu não vejo uma ruptura. A própria doutrina de Francisco se ancora no pensamento de papas que o antecederam, então eu acredito que o próximo papa dará continuidade a esse pensamento, mesmo porque ele é baseado não só em ciência, como na leitura da Bíblia”, destaca o superintendente da FAS. “No Gênesis diz que Deus não dá ao homem o direito de explorar a natureza.”Padre Adelson Araújo dos Santos relembra, entretanto, que dentro da própria Igreja, as palavras de Francisco sobre o “pecado ecológico” causaram rejeição da ala mais conservadora da Cúria. Os críticos alegavam que Francisco “gostava mais de defender as árvores do que as almas”, relata o professor da Pontifícia Universidade Gregoriana de Roma.“Ainda temos uma tarefa muito grande de sensibilização. A Laudato Si está completando 10 anos, mas em muitos lugares, em paróquias e meios cristãos católicos, ela não chegou ainda, porque não há a sensibilidade e uma palavra que o papa usa nas suas encíclicas, o processo de conversão”, detalha o teólogo. “Nestes casos, falta ver a dimensão do pecado presente quando você causa a destruição do meio ambiente e dos recursos naturais. Temos que realmente mudar os nossos paradigmas: não podemos mais ficar num modelo de desenvolvimento que esquece que tudo parte de uma harmonia”, observa.

Il y a 12 ans, le Pape François était élu sur le trône de Saint-Pierre. Premier pape latino-américain, premier pape jésuite. Il était porté par un immense espoir. Remettre de l'ordre dans une Église en crise marquée par la renonciation surprise de son prédécesseur Benoît 16. Que reste-t-il de son souhait de voir un Vatican plus proche des croyants, avec des finances plus saines ? La mort du Pape François est l'occasion de raconter l'histoire de son élection, et de mesurer son action à la tête de l'Eglise catholique. Est-il parvenu à changer l'Église durant ces 12 années de pontificat ? Comment a-t-il assis son autorité, face à certains courants hostiles ? Son engagement envers les migrants et la planète laissera-t-il des traces ?

En 'Futuro Sostenible', Federico Quevedo y Fernando Prieto, CEO del Observatorio de Sostenibilidad (OS), abordan el Laudato Si del Papa Francisco. Con Irene María del Pozo, pedagoga social y ambiental.
Pope Francis had become one of the most influential voices on the moral side of climate change. Back in 2015, he released an encyclical called Laudato Si', where he framed environmental issues not just as scientific or political problems, but as deep moral and spiritual ones. He emphasized that climate change affects everyone—but especially the poor and vulnerable who contribute the least to the problem yet suffer the most from its effects. At the end of the show, we look back. All links to items mentioned on our show can be found on our Patreon page.
On Monday April 21, Pope Francis passed away. As the Church mourns his passing and prays for the repose of his soul, we begin to reflect on the legacy of Pope Francis. So, in this special edition of the Ignatius Press Podcast, Ben Eriksen sits down with Mark Brumely to discuss the life and works of Pope Francis. Mark begins by highlighting three lessons that we can learn from Pope Francis before explaining why he believes Pope Francis will likely be the last pope of Vatican II. He also argues to what degree a pope should be involved in politics and how we can best foster Christian unity as we look forward to a papal conclave. Mark's balanced perspective on these topics is a welcome sight in these turbulent times.

Papa Francisco (2013-2025): El Papa de la Misericordia y la Iglesia para los Pobres Contexto: Su pontificado se desarrolla en un mundo con crecientes desigualdades económicas, crisis migratorias, desafíos ambientales y conflictos regionales. Enfoque Político-Social: Su magisterio se caracteriza por un fuerte énfasis en la misericordia, la inclusión social y la preocupación por los más vulnerables. Ha criticado duramente el sistema económico global, la cultura del descarte y la indiferencia ante el sufrimiento humano. Su encíclica Laudato Si' (2015) es un llamado urgente a la acción para proteger el medio ambiente y promover una ecología integral. Ha abogado por la justicia social, la paz, el diálogo intercultural e interreligioso, y una reforma de las instituciones internacionales. Su estilo pastoral cercano y su llamado a una "Iglesia pobre para los pobres" han tenido un impacto significativo a nivel global.En resumen, cada uno de estos papas abordó los desafíos políticos y sociales de su tiempo con sus propias sensibilidades y prioridades, pero todos compartieron un compromiso fundamental con la dignidad humana, la justicia y la paz, buscando guiar a la Iglesia y al mundo a la luz del Evangelio. Sus análisis y llamados siguen siendo relevantes para comprender los dilemas contemporáneos...PERO SIN BIBLIA
Hoy Lucas Luaces nos trajo más info acerca de la "biblia ambiental" del Papa Francisco.
La figure du pape François suscite une réception contrastée, tant chez les croyants que dans les milieux politiques. Acclamé par certains pour son engagement en faveur des migrants, de l'écologie et des plus pauvres, il est aussi critiqué pour son conservatisme sur les questions de genre, d'avortement ou de sexualité. À sa mort, les hommages sont venus de tous bords, de Donald Trump à Jean-Luc Mélenchon, illustrant l'ambivalence de son pontificat. François a cherché à incarner une Église ouverte, soucieuse de l'universalité, refusant les enfermements idéologiques. Son encyclique Laudato Si marque un tournant dans la pensée sociale et écologique de l'Église. Face à lui, monte un catholicisme identitaire, plus dur, qui rejette le dialogue interreligieux et valorise une défense civilisationnelle. L'enjeu du prochain conclave sera de choisir entre deux visions : une Église ouverte sur le monde ou recentrée sur ses bastions culturels. François laisse derrière lui une Église profondément transformée, mais encore en tension.

La disparition du souverain pontife fait bien sûr la Une des journaux du monde entier. « Adieu au pape du bout du monde », soupire la Nacion à Buenos Aires, ville natale de François. « Les catholiques pleurent la voix éteinte des dépossédés », clame le Washington Post. « Le pape des pauvres est parti », renchérit L'Orient-Le Jour à Beyrouth. « Adieu, Saint humaniste », lance Le Soleil à Dakar. La Repubblica à Rome fait on ne peut plus sobre avec cette simple épitaphe : « Jorge Mario Bergoglio 1936-2025 ».Conservateur sur certains aspects…Enfin, Libération à Paris se démarque avec ce « Perdimus papam ». Libération qui pointe un « bilan en demi-teinte » : « avec la mort de François s'éteint une des rares voix capables de fissurer le carcan qui enserre l'Église depuis des siècles. Fissurer seulement, car, estime le journal, malgré tous les espoirs placés par certains dans ce pape désireux de dédier son pontificat aux pauvres et aux périphéries, l'Église n'aura pas opéré de réelle révolution sous son règne. » Le Soir à Bruxelles est tout aussi partagé. « Un vent de fraîcheur, mais aussi une cassure dans le pouvoir opaque du Vatican : dès le début, le pape des pauvres frappe les imaginations en marquant l'ouverture d'une ère nouvelle. Mais au final, l'habit ne fait pas le changement, affirme le quotidien belge. La place des femmes dans l'Église, plus importantes en nombre et aux postes à responsabilité, n'a pas évolué dans la doctrine, pas davantage que celle des homosexuels. Sur les thèmes éthiques – euthanasie, avortement, procréation assistée –, c'est le conservatisme qui reste de rigueur. »… réformiste sur d'autres !Reste que François a été « un pape audacieux dans sa défense des immigrants et de l'environnement », tempère El Pais à Madrid. « À une époque marquée par la montée du populisme, qui a fait de la xénophobie son étendard, François a inlassablement appelé à la solidarité avec les immigrés, rappelle le quotidien espagnol. (…) Il a constamment appelé les dirigeants mondiaux à adopter des politiques d'immigration humaines, tout en critiquant la criminalisation des demandeurs d'asile. »Le Guardian à Londres est sur la même ligne : « Alors que les mouvements nationalistes repliés sur eux-mêmes tiraient progressivement la boussole politique occidentale vers la droite, François est devenu un contrepoids de plus en plus essentiel sur des questions interconnectées telles que les migrations, le réchauffement climatique et le sort des pays du Sud. Laudato Si, son encyclique passionnée consacrée au défi de l'urgence climatique, fut un tour de force moral et philosophique. »Qui plus est, pointe La Croix à Paris, « François fut le premier pape à prendre acte du grand basculement de l'Église catholique en dehors de l'Occident, identifiant clairement l'Asie, l'Amérique latine et l'Afrique comme synonymes de son avenir ».Alors, « François est-il parvenu à “réparer“ l'Église, s'interroge Le Figaro. Du moins cet homme à la voix prophétique s'est-il efforcé de secouer énergiquement une maison qu'il jugeait assoupie : une situation à laquelle l'infatigable veilleur de Dieu, même affaibli, ne s'était jamais résigné. »Après lui ?Qui pour lui succéder ? Les journaux s'interrogent déjà aux quatre coins du monde. Et certains avancent des noms, à l'instar du Washington Post qui cite Anders Arborelius, évêque de Stockholm, Charles Maung Bo, évêque de Rangoun en Birmanie, François-Xavier Bustillo, évêque d'Ajaccio en France, Fridolin Ambongo Besungu, évêque de Kinshasa en RDC, ainsi que plusieurs prélats italiens, Pietro Parolin, Matteo Maria Zuppi, Mario Grech, ou encore le Philippin Luis Tagle et le Hongrois Peter Erdo.« Succession du Pape François : quelle chance pour l'Afrique, s'interroge Ledjely en Guinée. Les prétendants ne manquent pas, relève le site conakryien : le Guinéen Robert Sarah, 79 ans, le Congolais Fridolin Ambongo Besungu, 65 ans, le Ghanéen Peter Turkson, 76 ans. (…) Si l'Église catholique venait à miser sur l'un d'entre eux, cela parachèverait une ouverture amorcée avec le choix du pape François, et prolongée par les idées progressistes qu'il a portées. Reste à savoir, affirme encore Ledjely, si l'Église catholique est prête à franchir un tel cap : celui de se choisir un pape noir et africain, issu du sud du Sahara. Ce serait alors un symbole fort, et une forme de justice à l'égard d'un continent dont l'expansion démographique exceptionnelle pourrait de plus en plus peser dans la vitalité de l'Église catholique. »
Durante sus 12 años de pontificado, el papa Francisco criticó constantemente el modelo económico global, abogando por una economía centrada en la justicia social. En su encíclica Laudato Si (2015), advirtió sobre el deterioro de la calidad de vida y la exclusión social, señalando problemas como la urbanización desordenada, la contaminación y la privatización de espacios públicos

Este lunes el papa Francisco falleció en el Vaticano tras unos meses en los que fue encadenando problemas de salud. El principal de todos ellos fue una neumonía grave de la que tuvo que ser tratado en el Policlínico Gemelli a principios de año. Fue dado de alta hace un mes y tuvo algunas apariciones públicas, la última de ellas, la recepción que dispensó al vicepresidente de EEUU, JD Vance, este mismo domingo de resurrección. El Papa, cuyo nombre de pila era Jorge Mario Bergoglio, tenía 88 años, nació en 1936 en Buenos Aires y fue elegido papa en 2013 tras la renuncia de Benedicto XVI, un hecho realmente excepcional, no se producía algo así desde 1415, cuando Gregorio XII renunció para poner fin al Cisma de Occidente. Hijo de inmigrantes italianos, Bergoglio estudió química antes de ingresar a los jesuitas en 1958. Ordenado en 1969, fue provincial de la compañía en Argentina durante la dictadura militar, algo que le valió posteriormente acusaciones de complicidad que tanto él como otros negaron rotundamente. Su vida modesta como arzobispo de Buenos Aires y su preocupación por los pobres le llevaron a ser elegido papa en el cónclave de hace doce años. Francisco fue primero en muchas cosas. Fue el primer papa americano, el primero de la Compañía de Jesús y el primero en adoptar este nombre. A lo largo de su pontificado trató de ofrecer una una imagen cercana y accesible: se movía en vehículos utilitarios, vivía en un modesto apartamento y daba continuamente declaraciones que generaban titulares. Abogaba por reducir la brecha entre ricos y pobres, proteger el medio ambiente y apoyar a los refugiados. Hace sólo tres meses, de hecho, criticó el plan de deportación anunciado por Donald Trump. En la guerra de Ucrania prefirió ponerse de perfil, evitó condenar directamente a Rusia, lo que generó gran polémica, especialmente entre los católicos europeos. En cuestiones morales, Francisco fue más progresista que sus antecesores, restó importancia a las enseñanzas tradicionales de la Iglesia sobre las relaciones homosexuales, algo que fue muy bien recibido entre los católicos más progresistas, pero que incomodó a los conservadores. Lo que no tocó fue el celibato sacerdotal, impuesto en el Primer Concilio de Letrán en 1123, a pesar del continuo debate que hay sobre este tema en el seno de la Iglesia. El mayor escándalo de su pontificado orbitó en torno a los abusos sexuales en la Iglesia. Aunque aseguraba que habría “tolerancia cero” al respecto, fue objeto de numerosas críticas hace unos años por su gestión de casos como el del ex cardenal Theodore McCarrick, acusado por el antiguo nuncio en Washington, Carlo Maria Viganò, de encubrir los abusos. En Chile se encontró con un problema de abusos aún mayor que desembocó en la renuncia de una treintena de obispos. Francisco deja tras de sí un Colegio Cardenalicio muy transformado. Dos tercios de los 135 cardenales electores (es decir, los menores de 80 años) que elegirán a su sucesor en el cónclave han sido nombrados por él. Su legado más duradero es seguramente su enfoque hacia el denominado “sur global” y problemas de nuestro tiempo como la inmigración o el cambio climático, un tema este al que le dedicó una encíclica, Laudato Si, en 2015. Intentó mejorar relaciones con el islam y con el Gobierno chino. En ambos casos fue objeto tanto de críticas como de alabanzas. El próximo cónclave, que se reunirá a partir de mayo, determinará si su visión de la Iglesia perdura.

Father James Kubicki joins Patrick to Honor Pope Francis What was he main focus of Pope Francis’ ministry (10:50) Perth -I'm a convert and was just talking to family members who are protestant. Defending the pope on his stances. I didn't know much about him and didn't look further until 4 months ago when I came back to the church. Today I saw an interview and it softened my heart and made me cry. He was for the people. Mary Lou - I remember hearing that when he was living in Argentina before coming Pope and throughout his papacy, he used to take the bus wherever he worked. Never took special cars, maid, chef, etc. Was with the poor. It profoundly influenced me so many ways in letting to ego and materialism. (20:40) Break 1 (27:45) Roland - I live in Metro Philadelphia. Was at world meeting of families. Was touched by his warmness. I'll never forget it. I served as a Spanish translator. To see everyone in such peace and love was a vision of heaven on earth. Mphasa - He touched my heart. His resilience. He was there for the people and there was so much Jesus in him. I will carry that on. (34:27) Barb - I think his work with Laudato Si was beautiful. It was a great opportunity to be ecumenical. It brought in a lot of people to the church and speaking to an issue that was relevant to them. Ray - My father passed away at the time the white smoke went up and that's why he's been a special figure for me. (39:26) Break 2 How did Pope Francis promote hope? (44:27) Brian - I'm a convert of 12 years. First pope. whether he focused on the environment or whatever, he was always trying to find a common ground with all people. How did Pope Francis promote devotion to Saint Joseph?
En este vídeo analizamos el impacto económico del pontificado de Francisco, desde su rotunda denuncia al capitalismo desregulado (“esta economía mata”) hasta la creación de la Secretaría para la Economía y el cierre de miles de cuentas irregulares en el IOR . Exploraremos sus propuestas de ingreso básico universal, condonación de deudas y ecología integral (Laudato Si') como ejes de una “economía del bien común”. Finalmente, evaluaremos hasta qué punto estas reformas moldearon no solo al Vaticano, sino también al debate global sobre justicia social y transparencia financiera.Conviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/el-podcast-de-marc-vidal--5231699/support.

In the global south, the pope's message about poverty and climate change resounds loudly.
In this penultimate episode of Hot Mess: How Climate Consensus Turned Into Political Chaos, we expand our focus beyond the United States to explore the global landscape of climate skepticism. Climate denial is not just an American phenomenon but takes on unique forms in different nations, influenced by cultural, political, and economic factors. We compare the deeply entrenched skepticism in the U.S. with the varied approaches seen in countries like China, Germany, Australia, and South Korea, shedding light on what drives climate attitudes worldwide. Featuring insights from four dynamic voices, this episode delves into how media, education, and policy influence public perception, and what lessons can be learned from global successes and failures in addressing climate change. Key Topics Covered: The roots of climate skepticism in the United States and its global parallels. How countries like Germany and South Korea have avoided widespread denial while the U.S. and Australia continue to struggle. The transformative power of education and infrastructure, as seen in China's rapid advancements. Faith and climate action in the U.S., with a focus on how the Catholic Church has responded to Laudato Si'. Conservative approaches to climate solutions and the role of young conservatives in shifting the conversation.

In this book talk, Farhana Mayer presents her book, 'An Introduction to Qur'anic Ecology and Resonances with Laudato Si', which explores Qur'an-based theological and ethical principles applicable to integral ecology. The book serves as a vital guide for Muslims addressing today's ecological and environmental challenges, drawing strong parallels with the themes in Pope Francis's 'Laudato Si'. Farhana delves into central Qur'anic concepts, such as the interconnected unity of all creation, the innate nature of God and humankind, and the principles of mercy, balance, justice, and moderation. She also discusses key critiques of human actions from an Islamic perspective, which align closely with Catholic teachings.

2024 Zahm Lecture - Earth Democracy with Dr. Vandana Shiva, Indian scholar, author, ecofeminist, environmental activist, and food sovereignty advocate based in Delhi. Pope Francis's call for environmental justice and care for the earth in his encyclical Laudato Si makes the connection between our environmental collapse and its impact on the poor and vulnerable: “We are faced not with two separate crises, one environmental and the other social, but rather with one complex crisis which is both social and environmental.” (LS, 139)This lecture brings one of the foremost voices in environmental activism to University of Portland to expand on that insight and advocate for "Earth Democracy."
