Summer Program Designed to Integrate ‘Laudato Si” Across Church Life

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Creighton University and the Catholic Climate Covenant are collaborating on the first of three biennial conferences to inspire parish and school leaders to more fully integrate Pope Francis’s encyclical on the environment into church life.

“We want to be able to catalyze Laudato Si’ across all of the ministries in the Catholic Church and to do so in a programmatic way and to help institutions to most effectively bring it into their respective ministries as they see fit,” said Jose Aguto, associate director of the Catholic Climate Covenant.

Set for June 27-29 at the Jesuit university in Omaha, Nebraska, the conference will find participants joining one of seven tracks and hearing from experts in the fields of theology, ethics and the sciences to guide development of programs in parishes, schools and religious communities.

The 2015 encyclical, formally titled Laudato Si’, on Care for Our Common Home, challenges humanity to understand how integral all life on earth is and that steps must be taken to protect God’s creation by changing personal habits and collaborating as one human family.

While the pope’s offering has been welcomed across the Church, Aguto said the time was right to undertake an effort to help parishes, schools and religious orders implement the various aspects outlined in the encyclical.

Individual speakers will introduce various aspects of the encyclical and action on behalf of the environment. Bishop Robert W. McElroy of San Diego will deliver the keynote address to open the conference the evening of June 27. Sister Patricia Siemen, prioress of the Adrian Dominican Sisters in Michigan, will close the conference June 29.

The Apostate popester is aggressively pushing traditional Catholics out of his Apostate Church, like the finely tooled community organizer that he is.

Truly, it is Remnant time, for Catholics fleeing to the hills and practicing the faith in Christ Jesus, in underground fashion, until He comes, or He destroys the corruption and abomination that has been forced on Holy Mother Church.

The Go Along priests and bishops in the US, occasionally peep, but fail to fight or die, have already abandoned the holy priesthood for the community organizer. Hell has been opened for the ravenous raiders and their Luke warm flocks. Spewed out is their promised end, neither hot nor cold.

Did they ever try to "integrate" any of St. John Paul's encyclicals?

Nope, they tried their best to ignore all of them.

The closest we got to any sort of "integration" was when he would personally come to America for a visit.

Then you could only see an analysis on EWTN.
