< < Go Back
Pope Francis has launched an education center in the traditional Papal summer residence of Castel Gandolfo to promote the “ecological conversion” which he called for in Laudato Si.
Citing a need to attend to ecological concerns, the Pontiff wrote how
…[r]ecurring crises and alarms tell us that this attention represents the challenge to which we must respond in order to build and consolidate that sustainable and integral development which can guarantee an improvement in the quality of human life respectful of God’s design for the world and in a healthy relationship with the order of nature and the laws that govern it.
This “demands an education and spirituality for the ‘Development of new convictions, new attitudes and lifestyles’ (LS, 202),” wrote Francis, quoting his own Laudato Si.
