1. Pope Francis ':

   It is important that there is some time between the publication of the encyclical and the meeting in Paris, because it is (intended) to be a contribution to that.

2. James Bretzke:

   The fact of climate change will be accepted and underscored, i think it would be a safe bet to suggest that the encyclical will be fairly concrete and specific and that there will likely be some specific ethical calls for action that will cause a certain amount of discomfort to a broad range of various populations from First World manufacturers to emerging Third World economies such as China.

Instead, we have to really touch their hearts and have a dialogue about it, and I hope it (the encyclical) does touch hearts.

4. President Barack Obama:

   I welcome His Holiness Pope Francis's encyclical, and deeply admire the Pope's decision to make the case - clearly, powerfully, and with the full moral authority of his position - for action on global climate change, and as we prepare for global climate negotiations in Paris this December, it is my hope that all world leaders--and all God's children--will reflect on Pope Francis's call to come together to care for our common home.
