So, wow, I just love it that the Pope weighed in on climate change, and I can understand now why so many American bishops hate his guts. The latter chapters in this Encyclical Letter are a scathing critique of capitalism and consumerism. Some of this stuff was so on point. I will never agree with the Catholic Church on everything, but I think this little letter is a masterpiece. Getting conservative Catholics to recognized that the climate crisis is real and human caused is no small feat. I only regret that I had not read it sooner.
