  • Pope Francis On Climate Change: The Mutually-Reinforcing Impacts of Power, Wealth, and Culture

    In releasing his encyclical, or letter, on climate change in June 2015, Pope Francis addresses the problem of climate change and suggests what he, or the Vatican more broadly, considered at the time to be necessary systemic changes on the road to recovery. In the encyclical, the patient may be human nature itself—specifically, its self-destructive propensity and trait of power-aggrandizement. In other words, we had lost control of our built-up (i.e., artificial) societal systems and structures, which could wind up strangling us in their protection of the status quo. In this essay, I discuss the Pope’s portrayal of the problem of climate change from the standpoints of culture, power, and wealth. I then address the feasibility of the Pope’s prescription.

    Wealth, and Culture


    In releasing his encyclical, or letter, on climate change in June 2015, Pope Francis
    addresses the problem of climate change and suggests what he, or the Vatican
    more broadly, considered at the time to be necessary systemic changes on the road
    to recovery. In the encyclical, the patient may be human nature itselfspecifically,
    its self-destructive propensity and trait of power-aggrandizement. In other words,
    we had lost control of our built-up (i.e., artificial) societal systems and structures,
    which could wind up strangling us in their protection of the status quo. In this essay,
    I discuss the Popes portrayal of the problem of climate change from the standpoints
    of culture, power, and wealth. I then address the feasibility of the Popes
    prescription.
    The full essay is at Pope Francis on Climate Change.
