As Erin Lothes Biviano writes in her introduction, Pope Francis here writes as a prophet, priest, poet, and most of all \"a pastor, deeply concerned for people throughout the world, and above all for the poor.\" Disappointed that not enough has been done in the intervening years, Francis addresses the irreversible effects of increasing global temperatures, the decrease in ice sheets, and other signs of the times. He critiques the \"technocratic paradigm,\" the ongoing addiction to a fossil-fuel economy, and the \"weaknesses of international politics,\" while leveling particular criticism at those who sow resistance and confusion. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith selections in this edition from \u003ci\u003eLaudato Si' \u003c\/i\u003ethat focus on pastoral, theological, and spiritual themes, \u003ci\u003eLaudate Deum \u003c\/i\u003eis a call to face the preeminent crisis of our times and to draw on all our spiritual wisdom, scientific knowledge, and political will to meet the challenge. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDorothy Day (1897-1980)\u003c\/strong\u003e, founder of the Catholic Worker movement, was singled out by Pope Francis in his address to Congress, as one of four \"great Americans\" who offer us a new way of seeing and interpreting reality.
