In this discussion about the promise and limits of personal climate action, Ed Tverdek, OFM, PhD, suggests that our shortcomings can be attributed to a failure to take seriously Pope Francis’ message in his encyclical Laudato Si’ and his subsequent apostolic exhortation, Laudate Deum – and that the transformative vision of a culture less wed to consumerism and growth – long expounded by “radical ecologists” and now by Pope Francis – remains our best vehicle for evangelization as Franciscans.

This Zoom presentation will take place on April 10, 2025 at 7:00 PM Pacific Time, USA.
