Hey there, Editor!
So, I stumbled across this headline, right? Sammy Roth’s piece on Pope Francis—yeah, the one where he calls him a “climate hero.” I’m not Catholic myself, but dang, I felt the loss. Francis wasn’t just a religious figure; he was a scientist before all that holy stuff. Smart guy, had a knack for seeing the bigger picture, you know? His “Laudato Si’” essay—Roth says it’s probably the most famous climate thing ever. It’s like, a big deal. A wake-up call we can’t ignore.
Anyway, so many photos of the pope everywhere after he passed. But there’s this one I can’t shake off: Francis, all smiles, standing with Greta Thunberg in Rome. She’s holding this tiny poster, “Celebrate Laudato Si.’” It hits you, doesn’t it? A reminder. It’s not just about us humans. We’re all tangled up together on this planet, fighting against the climate mess we’ve made.
Catch you later!
