<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Description: </b>This year marks the seventh anniversary of Pope Francis’s promulgation of <i>Laudato Sí</i>, the encyclical letter on “Care for our Common Home.” And yet, when it comes to attention to important life issues in the United
States, global climate change and other ecological crises often fail to rise to the level of concern or attention that other prolife subjects typically do. In this presentation, Fr. Daniel draws on the consistent ethic of life principle to show how the Catholic
tradition ought to recognize global climate change as the most important life issue today, for it threatens the very conditions of <i>all life </i>on this planet. <o:p></o:p></p>
