Daniel Horan, ofm, wrote an article in NCR (Feb, 19) titled “Integral ecology requires a larger ‘seamless garment’.” He cited Laudato Si’, saying: “Given that Laudato Si’ is officially part of the church’s social teaching, its insights and lessons have bearing on how we view social order, politics, scientific inquiry, theological reflection and moral norms. To talk about an integral ecology in this light is to reiterate the interconnectedness of all human persons to one another and our inextricable place within a singular cosmic web of creation.”
