Pope Francis addressed the threat of environmental degradation to both the planet and the poor in his much-anticipated encyclical.
A number of Boston College scholars commented on the historical event including:
Joseph Professor of Catholic Systematic Theology Richard Gaillardetz to AP; School of Theology and Ministry Professor Thomas Groome for NPR 'On Point' and NBC News; Professor James Bretzke, S.J., in the International Business Times and the journal Nature; School of Social Work Associate Professor Tiziana Dearing in an op-ed for WBUR "Cognoscenti" and Theology Department doctoral candidate Daniel DiLeo STM '13 for National Catholic Reporter.
'Our Common Home,' a four-day interdisciplinary conference exploring the implications of the encyclical, will be held at BC in the fall.
