The third issue – the most challenging for some American politicians, especially the most conservative among them – is Francis’s recent encyclical on environmental stewardship, climate change, and sustainable and fair economic development. He clearly intends to put the full moral weight of his papacy behind the efforts to conclude a deal on climate change at the United Nations conference in Paris in December.
第三个问题——对于一些美国政客来说，这是挑战最大的问题，特别是最保守的保守派——是方济各关于环境保护、气候变化以及可持续的公平经济发展的最新通谕。他显然准备拿出他作为教皇的全部道德分量推动12月的联合国巴黎会议形成气候变化协议。奥巴马关于二氧化碳排放的最新讲话显然与教皇通谕完全一致。
