Laudato Si': A conversation of care

Welcome to La Civiltà Cattolica’s podcast.  In this episode, Michael Kelly, SJ interviews Pedro Walpole SJ to discover the beauty of Laudato Si’ and understand key issues we must attend to for the preservation of the environment. “Laudato Si',” or “Praise Be to You” is the ground-breaking encyclical of Pope Francis that addresses the ecological crisis facing the world in the 21st Century. It has put the Pope and the Catholic Church’s tradition of social teachings at the center of the international debate on climate change.  Pedro Walpole SJ is Irishman who came to the Philippines as a forester, joined the Jesuits working on environmental programs and issues in the Philippines, elsewhere in Asia and across the world since the 1980s. Michael Kelly, SJ is the publisher of the English language edition of the 171 year old Jesuit periodical La Civiltà Cattolica, published in English since 2017 and also available in Italian, French, Russian, Spanish, Japanese, Korean and Chinese.
