#LaudatoSi is "really the first Third World encyclical. You know, this is coming from a pope who was shaped in really significant ways by economic crises during the Cold War in Argentina and being in the middle of a battleground between the First and Second World powers. It was drafted by a cardinal from Ghana. So this is coming from the side of the world that we don’t normally hear from."

> The same mindset.. also stands in the way of.. eliminating poverty. A more responsible overall approach is needed to deal with both problems: the reduction of pollution and the development of poorer countries and regions. ... .. democratic control over the economy and finance.. the basic choices made by human societies. This is the path the entire human family is on, the one which leads through New York to Paris and beyond"
