"And the First Reason is this, that we may lay the Foundation of making the Earth a Common Treasury for All, both Rich and Poor, That every one that is born in the land may be fed by the Earth his Mother, according to the Reason that rules in Creation."

Manatees approaching a traffic circle. These curious manatees were checking out a circling school of fish (Jacks). Manatees are curious about anything new in their environment, including people.

This was a powerful speech by Pope Leo which built on Pope Francis’ teaching legacy.
He criticised those who “have chosen to deride the increasingly evident signs of climate change, to ridicule those who speak of global warming”.
