This is just on point father. We need t keep exploring to know more about Laudato Si. My dream is to see the entire world embrace this philosophy so we can have a better world for our present and future generations
May the Lord fill you with His Peace and Goodness too, Brother Dan, for helping me understand Laudato Si a bit more better so that I may contribute something towards making our common-home mother/sister Earth 'breathe' easier and so are my fellow sisters/brothers. Presently I 'revive' thrown away indoor plants and so create small 'delightful' plants on windowsill and clean air.
Thank you so much for sharing about Laudato Si...so reflective and could be personally lived out personally...i am listening and taking impt. learnings of Fr. Dan Horan, OFM. Bless you Fr. Dan.
In this section I found the quote in the (65) from Jeremiah to be a particularly heart-warming use of Jeremiah. 'Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.' It reminds us that we are soul/spirit and not solely of the body. It reminds us that our physical being is not permanent and thus asserts the importance of acknowledging that we are of God and not of the Earth. Our journey here is temporary and we must leave the Earth in the same condition or better than the creation on which we existed. I also found (79) quite thought provoking. 'The work of the Church seeks not only to remind everyone of the duty to care for nature, but at the same time 'she must above all protect mankind from self-destruction'' Here in Ireland as a young man I find it disheartening to find that there are not many of my age present at mass. There has been an exodus from the faith. Therefore, the question must be raised as to how the Church can remind everyone of the duty of care. Similarly, the churches here have not been mentioning the encyclical. I attend weekly and the only mention I have heard of Laudato Si' has been by a Franciscan priest who came to our town for the once monthly Franciscan mass. I was dying to shout out how much I knew of it :D The teacher in me restrained the know-it-all-student within me! Thank God! However, the question is therefore to be raised as to how best the Church can pass on the wonderful teaching of the said encyclical to the world community today.
Have just finished reading with a Book club "Ask the Beasts (Darwin and the God of Love)" by Elizabeth Johnson. Your explication of these chapters is a wonderful complement to her profound book
I've just watched the first of Dan Horan's Laudato Si series. He accepts that hunting, eating, wearing and enslaving animals is permissable. That saddens me. Also, he seems unaware of the major part that animal agriculture - production and consumption of meat and dairy - plays in ill health, global poverty, desertification, destruction of rainforests, pollution of land and water, waste of resources, water depletion, antibiotic resistance and animal suffering. I urge viewers to look into these matters for themselves.
As we are not to reject truth from other traditions or cultures we should make sure that the bible is the standard of our living. If we embrace wisdom from traditions, more that the bible we are to fall into the devils plan.
You need to understand the Word of God, especially the books of Daniel and the Revelation; not Laudato Si. Did you understand the Scriptures you would abhor, not only that encyclical that is based on error and deception, but its source.
Dont even try to propagate this nonsense that I am not God! I will consider this conspiracy against the Antichrist. If you want to limit God trough yourself, please do so, free will have been granted to you, but if you propagate your weakness and limit on me or others, then you are entering into shady watters my brother. God bless! I am.
Thanks you may God continue to bless you. 😊
Thank you Fr. Daniel. Laudato Si is so rich. Thank you for unpacking the details - helping us to dig in.

If you study prophecy then you should know that this won't come.

Absolutely right

How is Pope Francis suggesting us to respond, some concrete ways we can help our world.
