Get ready for the newest summer blockbuster. No, it’s not Jurassic World — it’s even bigger, crazier, and more action packed: a religious document issued by the pope. The new encyclical is set to address climate change and humanity’s moral obligation to fight it. But unlike any encyclical ever issued before, this one has an epic (unofficial) movie trailer. (Continue reading HERE and the trailer is below!)
- BBC - Is Pope Francis a communist?
- Rocco Palmo - Whispers in the Loggia - "Nature Never Forgives" – For Eco-cyclical, The Final Countdown - Rocco gives some back ground to the forth coming encyclical as well as showing how the linkages are being made between Pope Francis forth coming message and his predecessors.
- CNA - Caring for creation is a duty for all, Pope says ahead of encyclical launch
- Crux - John Allen - Environmental manifesto may confirm Pope Francis as ‘Benedict 2.0’

UPDATE:
- Crux's analysis and coverage of the encyclical.
- From the Jesuit Post: Laudato Sii — Pope Francis’s Ecology Encyclical Is Almost Here! which has a number of suggestions for digesting the encyclical when it is published:
1. Remember it’s not only about climate change.2. Climate change “propaganda” – According to whom?3. The Church is not walking into another “Galileo Affair”4. Regardless of our preferences, the encyclical has something to say to everyone.5. Collective action on the environment is inherently Catholic.6. Read it, absorb it, and talk about it!
- John Allen over at Crux gives an excellent article on Getting ahead of the spin on the pope’s environmental encyclical

2nd June 2015
As the publication date of Pope Francis encyclical on the environment approaches, it is interesting to note that the initial outlines of the new encyclical were given at an address by Cardinal Peter Turkson at the Pontifical University in Maynooth back in March 2015:
- Vatican Radio - Cardinal Turkson: together for stewardship of creation
- Irish Bishops Conference - Cardinal Peter Turkson delivers the Trócaire 2015 Lenten Lecture, Saint Patrick’s Pontifical University, Maynooth
- Crux - Cardinal previews Francis’ encyclical on the environment
- iCatholic - you can watch the video of the talk here
- What makes environment encyclical unusual? The pope sees 2015 as an ideal time for the Church to weigh in on ecology, but critics are lining up.
- Pope’s environmental encyclical to be titled ‘Laudato Sii’ (Praised Be You)
- Greenbacks and the green economy: Ecology is good business
Papal authority and Climate change - as we head into the summer and the approaching publication date of Pope Francis' encyclical on the environment and climate change there is a lot of disquiet and opposition growing in certain quarters of the church - before we even see a word of the encyclical!
- Millennial writer Daniel DiLeo has a new article at US Catholic
