         letter: a message for our earth,
















         In 2015, Pope Francis wrote Laudato Si’, a letter to every single person in the
         world, confronting the looming calamity of human impact on Earth and ourselves.
          It is one of the most ambitious and revolutionary papal statements in history,
         since it is directed not just to Catholics, but to everyone on the planet and it
         outlines the most critical environmental and social issues that we collectively face.


         There are four ‘voices’ that Pope Francis calls specifically for in Laudato Si’: the

         Voice of the Poor, the Indigenous, the Youth and Wildlife. Voices that are too
         often not listened to in today’s world. We witness a series of letters exit the                         Definition                  Episodes
