Pope Francis takes his stand on a basic paradigm shift in his Encyclical Letter Laudato Si’: Care for our Common Home (2015). He calls for a radical shift of mindsets and ecological and cultural conversion which are needed for sustainability and a life in dignity for all. The author compares aspects from sustainability research and Laudato Si’ and shows how science and Francis spiritual-theological take converge. Both call for the need of new mindsets and spiritual resources to nourish just life-styles and sustainable societies.}, language = {en-gb}, number = {2}, urldate = {2021-02-19}, journal = {The Journal of the Macau Ricci Institute}, author = {Gassner, Franz}, year = {2018}, }
