Pope Francis's "ecological encyclical" is an event which&mdash;whether taken from a religious, ethical, social, or political point of view&mdash;is of planetary importance. Considering the enormous influence of the Catholic Church worldwide, it is a crucial contribution towards the development of a critical ecological consciousness.

No Brasil não temos partidos racistas, a extrema-direita se manifesta no chamado a um golpe militar.
