Summary
The Encyclical Letter acknowledges the “human origins of the ecological crisis” and contains a harsh critique of the destructive approach that humanity has developed on the basis of the dominant technocratic paradigm, which dominates the current economic and political life. To address such a crisis, Pope Francis proposes to embrace an “integral ecology” as a possible solution, to be sustained by a profound ecological conversion.
