As Erin Lothes Biviano writes in her introduction, Pope Francis here writes as a prophet, priest, poet, and most of all “a pastor, deeply concerned for people throughout the world, and above all for the poor.” Disappointed that not enough has been done in the intervening years, Francis addresses the irreversible effects of increasing global temperatures, the decrease in ice sheets, and other signs of the times. He critiques the “technocratic paradigm,” the ongoing addiction to a fossil-fuel economy, and the “weaknesses of international politics,” while leveling particular criticism at those who sow resistance and confusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith selections in this edition from \u003cem\u003eLaudato Si’ \u003c\/em\u003ethat focus on pastoral, theological, and spiritual themes, \u003cem\u003eLaudate Deum \u003c\/em\u003eis a call to face the preeminent crisis of our times and to draw on all our spiritual wisdom, scientific knowledge, and political will to meet the challenge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCover design by Ponie Sheehan \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #2b00ff;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlso of Interest\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/orbisbooks.com\/products\/on-care-for-our-common-home-laudato-si?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=638ab8902\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #2b00ff;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cimg height=\"261\" width=\"179\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0185\/6438\/2784\/files\/9781626981737_540x_9b5cd887-6953-43d7-8259-e121f354b134_480x480.webp?v=1707417070\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/orbisbooks.com\/products\/against-war-a-call-to-peacemaking-for-our-time?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=ea30dcef5\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"262\" width=\"171\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0185\/6438\/2784\/files\/9781626984998_720x_93c57efb-9f2b-4734-9e9e-29f48ca1955e_480x480.webp?v=1707417135\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/orbisbooks.com\/products\/rejoice-and-be-glad?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=23e2e802c\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"261\" width=\"170\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0185\/6438\/2784\/files\/Rejoice-and-Be-Glad-FC_720x_793bc8d9-8052-4e70-a954-a27a50043291_480x480.webp?v=1707417168\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0185\/6438\/2784\/files\/image_480x480.jpg?v=1684772385\" alt=\"\" width=\"323\" height=\"62\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0185\/6438\/2784\/files\/Pope_Francis_Laudate_Deum_TOC.pdf?v=1697633925\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #2b00ff;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClick Here For The Table Of Contents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0185\/6438\/2784\/files\/Pope_Francis_Laudate_Deum_Intro_Excerpt.pdf?v=1697633925\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #2b00ff;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClick Here For The Book Introduction Excerpt\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0185\/6438\/2784\/files\/Laudate_Deum_-_Maryknoll_Audience_2.docx?v=1698671719\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #2b00ff; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eClick Here For \u003cem\u003eAddressing Today’s Ecological Urgency\u003c\/em\u003e by James H.
