Pope Francis issued the encyclical Laudato si’ on May 24, 2015. It was the second encyclical of his papacy (2013–25) and his first social encyclical (i.e., it specifically addresses moral issues). Also known as “On Care for Our Common Home,” Laudato si’ (“Praise Be to You”) is the first encyclical in the history of the Roman Catholic Church devoted entirely to the issue of the environment.
