CWN Editor's Note: On October 4, Pope Francis issued Laudate Deum (CWN analysis), his apostolic exhortation on climate change.
Pope Francis wrote in the exhortation that “emissions per individual in the United States are about two times greater than those of individuals living in China” (n. 72). Without criticizing the document, Archbishop Thomas Wenski of Miami described the comparison as “a little bit off.” He added, “I think China is probably polluting in ways worse than is acknowledged by the Holy Father.”
