Attitudes Shifted with Laudato Si!

Two “Princeton University doctoral candidates in political science…recently released a paper studying the impact of “Laudato Si’.” On the America Magazine podcast, Inside the Vatican, Colleen Dulle conversed with authors Sam Winter-Levy and Bryan Schonfeld. They found a “significant shift” in opinion after the publication of Francis’ encyclical: “churchgoing Catholics [believe] that climate change is real and caused by humans, and that there is a moral imperative to take action on it.”

In addition to the link to their conversation, the article contains links to read more, including the full paper.
