Pope will ask Catholics to combat climate change
Next March, the Pope should disclose an edict where Francisco will ask Catholics around the world to combat climate change. The document will be the first of its kind issued by a Pope and will be directed to approximately 1.2 billion Catholics.The document, according to the Guardian, writes should be disclosed after a visit to Tacloban City â€" the Philippine city devastated by a typhoon in 2012 â€" which is scheduled for next March.An encyclical like this is rare in the history of the Catholic Church, and the Pope's message must have a stamp of urgency and seriousness. The Pope is expected to ask the world community of Catholics not only to fight climate change in the name of science but also make this claim in a moral obligation for believers. The edict, which should take between 50 to 60 pages will be distributed to 5,000 bishops and 400,000 priests around the world.It is estimated that this Pope's message can reach more individuals than any other message on the same subject issued by political groups or environmentalists. Is still on the agenda of the Pope speak on the same topic at the UN General Assembly in September, which will take place in New York.Foto: Catholic Church/Creative Commons
