Pope Francis certainly addresses the Catholic faithful, quoting
El Papa Francisco se dirige, claro está, a los fieles católicos,
St. John Paul II: “Christians in their turn “realise that their re-

our common home”. The dialogue runs throughout the text and
in chapter 5 it becomes the instrument for addressing and solving problems. From the beginning, Pope Francis recalls that

Bible and Judeo-Christian tradition. The root of the problems in
technocracy and in an excessive self-centredness of the human
being are analysed. The Encyclical proposes an “integral ecology, which clearly respects its human and social dimensions”,
inextricably linked to the environmental question. In this perspective, Pope Francis proposes to initiate an honest dialogue at
every level of social, economic and political life, that builds
transparent decision-making processes, and recalls that no project can be effective if it is not animated by a formed and responsible conscience. Ideas are put forth to aid growth in this
direction at the educational, spiritual, ecclesial, political and
theological levels. The text ends with two prayers; one offered

Papa Francisco propone emprender un diálogo honesto a todos
