Catholic, Orthodox Christian and atheist to present Pope’s encyclical

A Catholic, an Orthodox Christian and an atheist are to present the encyclical Laudato Si, Pope Francis has said.

The Pope, speaking during an audience with priests in Rome, said the line-up would reflect the fact that “we need unity to protect creation”.

The Pope’s encyclical on the environment, entitled Laudato Si, on the care of our common home, will be presented at a press conference in the Vatican’s synod hall on Thursday.

Yesterday the Pope told pilgrims assembled in St Peter’s Square: “I invite you to accompany this event with a renewed attention to the situation of environmental degradation, but also of recovery in one’s own region.

“This encyclical is addressed to everyone: let us pray so that all may receive its message and grow in responsibility toward the common home "
