Where did I say it should be accepted as fact?

Why you bullying people Serbs?

First of all, it's not a matter of faith or morals.

Second of all, I want to read it for myself.

Yes, it's very confusing since they both have "2" in their username. Here's a tip, Serbia: If you can imagine the poster eating a booger either directly before or after the post, it's ten-to-one odds it's been written by notyou2.

The Pope's latest encyclical, Laudato si', is being billed by much of the media as the pope's moral case for acting on climate change. However, this letter is actually far broader in scope than merely being a missive on global warming. Rather, its central thesis is that responsible stewardship of the environment and a commitment to social justice and a meaningful ethics are uniquely interconnected. Consequently we cannot have true environmental protection and leadership without understanding both that humans are themselves part of nature and that so much of our environmental wrongdoing is the result of insufficient consideration of the interests of those who do not have economic or political power.

Most importantly, this is not a piece of writing about environmental degradation, even though some time is spent discussing that issue. I say that because this is very explicitly an optimistic essay at its core, not a negative plaint about what we are doing wrong. It is a call for a renewed vitality in the way we live and a renewed pursuit of social justice, with the warning that ills like climate change are what occur when we fail to be true stewards.

Explicitly religious parts aside, this is a remarkable and inspiring literary work.
