Without the text of the encyclical, I can’t be complete.

However, look at the text here:

“Francis urged a collective response that is free from political or economic influences, one that overcomes mistrust and promotes a culture of solidarity and dialogue.

The Vatican leader has also argued that people have an obligation to respect the natural order, comparing the traditional family unit with ecology.”

We are obligated, according to this text, to a ‘collective’ response. That means commanded to me. How we achieve this exactly is not (yet) clarified.
