In issuing “Laudato Si’,” nine years ago, Pope Francis made climate change a central issue in the church’s social teaching. Are we still paying attention?

Pope Francis has asked the October synod to focus not on single issues but on one key question: “How to be a synodal church in mission?”

Pope Francis says he has no plans to resign and isn’t suffering from any health problems that would require doing so, saying in a new memoir he still has “many projects to bring to fruition.”

The saints are “those who become themselves fully, who fulfil the vocation proper to every man or woman,” Pope Francis said in today’s general audience on the topic of virtue.
