Abstract

We present the Encyclical Laudato if' and relate it to two key documents of socio-environmental thinking, the first of global character: The Earth Letter; and the other of Latin American origin, The Manifest for Life. It highlights the contribution made by this document including the issue of environment in the doctrinal corpus of The Catholic Church and seeing systemically linked to inequality, consumerism, social exclusion and environmental degradation, and the call to build new ways of understanding the economy and progress into a new developed lifestyle.
