Pope
Francis: encyclical part of Church's social doctrine
(Vatican
Radio) Pope Francis asked the faithful and all persons of good will to receive
his new Encyclical letter on the care of creation with open hearts. Speaking to
pilgrims and tourists gathered for his weekly General Audience on the eve of
the much-anticipated document’s official release, Pope Francis said, “Tomorrow,
as you know, the Encyclical on the care of the ‘common house’ that is creation
will be published.”
Pope
Francis went on to say, “Our ‘house’ is being ruined, and that hurts everyone,
especially the poorest among us.”
The
Holy Father concluded, saying, “My appeal is, therefore, to responsibility,
based on the task that God has given to man in creation: ‘to till and tend’ the
‘garden’ in which humanity has been placed (cf. Gen 2:15). I invite everyone to
accept with open hearts this document, which places itself in the line of the
Church's social doctrine.”
