Entirely focussed on environmental issues and the forthcoming Cop21, this is the last issue of Europeinfos, the online monthly of the Commission of the EU Bishops Conferences (Comece), in three languages (www.europe-infos.eu). Several articles reflect on the Laudato si’. Card. Peter Turkson, president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, defines the encyclical letter as an “impressive document”, because it is not “an environmentalist text” but “a social encyclical in the broadest sense”, in the wake of the Rerum Novarum. It gives a major contribution to the Cop21 in terms of principles, actual assessments and political prospects, the cardinal explains. Then, MEPs Sylvie Goulard and Peter Liese, and Andrea Tilche, head of the Unit on Climate Action of the European Commission, will reread Pope Francis’ text from a political standpoint, highlighting the universal nature of the Pope’s message, which has touched people of every religious belief as well as the social players (Goulard), and has raised the level of the debate, from environmental ‘doom and gloom’ to confidence in man’s ability to face the problem (Tilche). The European Union “can do better”, writes father Patrick Daly, Secretary of Comece, at the Cop21, as well as in its everyday work “by embedding climate in every area or political decision”.
