On October 2015, the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi, who taught us to see the greatness of the Creator in creation, teach him to praise Him, and put it into practice in our lives, Pope Francis wrote the second part of the “Laudato Si” cyclical article “Laudato Dei and the Fourth” to make people aware of the climate crisis and to call them to love and respect the Creator and creation more. ” Published the Apostolic Exhortation. The article underscores the fact that the commitment to the preservation of public housing stems from the Christian faith.
This article warns that man who puts himself in the place of God invites danger to himself. The article consists of six chapters and 73 paragraphs. The article also calls for healthy approaches to the climate crisis at the COP 28 conference in Dubai in two months.
But the Pope reiterates that the developed world, which blames these crises on the poor people who give birth to more children, should do self-examination and be prepared to stop the exploitation of nature. The Pope is of the opinion that it is not healthy to keep looking for the origin of climate change, leaving the man behind, and to overcome this crisis, everyone should work together with a broad vision to overcome this crisis.
In the next chapter, the Pope also points out the moral decay of human power. The Pope highlights the power and domination that exploits people with deception and promises, and the tendency to destroy the lives of poor people. The Pope says that the weakness of international policies is also a cause of the crisis. The Pope therefore calls for the emergence of more effective global organizations empowered to ensure the global common good. Today’s challenge, says the Pope, is to recreate a new multilateralism in the light of the new global situation. It also calls for collective efforts to protect the needs of all. The Pope also wishes that the COP 28 conference will be a turning point for this.
Pope Francis calls for an end to the “irresponsible mockery” of mitigating the environmental problem for economic interests. Similarly, the Pope emphasized that those who speak at the COP 28 conference should think of the common good and the future of children, rather than the special interests of any country or company, and thus show their nobility.
In the end, the Pope reminds us of the great commitment of believers as Christians in these efforts and the responsibility to put them into action. Through his apostolic exhortation, the Pope also shares the good hope that a widespread change in irresponsible lifestyles will produce great results in the path of mutual care, with necessary decisions in the future.
