Pope Francis will release a follow-up document on the environment on Oct. 4, providing an update to his 2015 encyclical Laudato Si', On Care for Our Common Home” — a landmark papal letter that offered a rallying cry for global action in the fight against climate change.
Francis said the new document is an effort to help “put an end to the senseless war against our common home” and comes after a summer of record breaking rising temperatures, wildfires and storms.
