Papal encyclical on ecology in the offing


Vatican City, 25 January 2014: Pope Francis has begun work on a draft text on the topic of ecology, which could become an encyclical, confirmed Father Federico Lombardi, S.J., the Director of the Holy See Press Office, on Friday. Father Lombardi also said that the project is in an early stage, and therefore it is too early to make any prediction about the timing of possible publication.

Elaborating on the possible encyclical Father Lombardi said that it is important to note that Pope Francis intends to put particular emphasis on the theme of “human ecology,” a phrase used by Pope Benedict to describe not only how people must defend and respect nature but how the nature of the person as created by God must also be defended.
