Pope Francis' landmark document on human ecology, On Care for Our Common Home (Laudato Si'), is the first encyclical completely devoted to the topic. It is addressed to "every living person on this planet" and aims to spark a "dialogue with all people about our common home." It challenges each one of us to ask ourselves, our corporations, and our governments: "How can anyone claim they are building a better future without thinking of the environment?" Within this framework, Pope Francis powerfully draws our attention also to the poor, who share an intimate relationship with the fragility of the earth.
