To answer your question directly not a peep about the encyclical at my parish. It’s a parish in Baltimore so you can imagine the “political climate”. They probably all accept the entire thing without question and probably even believe it’s a vindication of their environmental concerns.

I only know one other family,personally. They are good people but haven’t spoken about the encyclical. I should ask their impressions sometime.

I go there for the beautiful ceremony and architectural splendor, not for theological discourse, so there’s that to consider with my report. Also the Mass has no liturgical abuse that I can see (other than the Our Father hand holding of course). I might try the TLM in Towson sometime. If I can convince my wife to go.

Anyway there’s my parish report.

Thanks for the report.

I know for a fact that the climate activists are already making a pitch to the bishops of the Appalachian Dioceses, and that includes mine: http://catholicphilly.com/2015/07/news/national-news/catholic-appalachian-group-asks-bishops-to-be-strident-on-laudato-si/>
