description Pope Francis’ second encyclical, Laudato Si’, directly addresses the responsibility all persons share for the care of our common home, the earth. This essay investigates Pope Francis’ conception of integral ecology as a communication ethic that calls humans to being in communion with God and all of God’s creation. Laudato Si’, therefore, reveals integral ecology as a constructive means to embrace a pastoral and existential call to care for our common good and our common home.
