CITATION: Pope Francis. 2015. Laudato Si': On Care for Our Common Home [Encyclical].
What was Laudato Si written?
Laudato Si' is an encyclical of Pope Francis published in May 2015. It focuses on care for the natural environment and all people, as well as broader questions of the relationship between God, humans, and the Earth. The encyclical's subtitle, “Care for Our Common Home,” reinforces these key themes.
Who wrote Laudato Si and when was it written?
Pope Francis finished writing Laudato Si' on May 24, 2015, and one year later, thousands of Catholics united to celebrate the encyclical that had already spurred prayer and action for our common home. The next Laudato Si' Week took place in 2020.
What type of document is Laudato Si?
The encyclical letter Laudato Si (“Praised Be”) by Pope Francis is the most comprehensive Vatican document to date on environmentalism, ethics, and Christian faith. The document is intended for all people, not Catholics or Christians alone. Its arguments are founded on theological convictions.
