EPA leader welcomes Pope’s new encyclical
July 14, 2015
In an article coauthored by the US ambassador to the Holy See, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency welcomed Pope Francis’s new encyclical, Laudato Si’.
“Pope Francis is boldly building on the moral foundation laid down by Popes Benedict XVI and John Paul II, and is joined by a chorus of voices from faith leaders around the globe calling for climate action -- not only because it protects our health, our economy, and our way of life -- but because it's the right thing to do,” Gina McCarthy and Ambassador Kenneth Hackett wrote in the Huffington Post. “We look forward to welcoming the Holy Father to the United States in September to continue to discuss these and other issues that affect us all.”
