Magnificast classic: Laudate Deum, Daniel, the Pope is back with a new apostolic exhortation.
Dean is away at COP, so you're getting a classic ep this week. But, don't worry! we'll have something new next week. --------------Folks, we’re back at it. Last week, we refreshed our memories about the Pope’s climate encyclical Laudato Si and how it connected with things like degrowth and dependency theory. But this week, we’re back with some breaking news. The Vatican has released Francis’ most recent apostolic exhortation Laudate Deum, and we will talk through it.Last time, we pulled out some of Francis’ thoughts around dependency and the economy, and in this Laudate Deum, he’s back with a lot of similar themes, but this time, he’s way more cranky about it all––which makes sense given that Laudato Si came out eight years ago and things have only gotten worse.So, in this episode, we will talk through Laudate Deum and see what’s changed and what’s stayed the same in those eight years.
