You did the best you could and it was respectfully done. This paper (hesitating to call it an encyclical) has all the earmarks of a committee product with its internal inconsistencies — both substantively and in style. The Pope told us it was Turkson’s “team” on the first draft and, later, unnamed theologians on the third draft. Color coding? Not a bad idea; you could have colors for The Good, the Bad, and the Silly.
Overall the document is clearly buying into man-made global warming and in the background are the themes of liberation theology. The hands are the hands of Francis but the voice is the voice of Leonardo Boff (e.g., the “cry of the earth” is in the title of one of Boff’s books). This paper cites the Rio conference of 1992: that’s where they sang, “Were You There When the Crucified the Earth?”
