Book Review: The Eucharistic Vision of Laudato Si’: Praise, Conversion, and Integral Ecology

THE EUCHARISTIC VISION OF LAUDATO SI’ is a compelling and unique examination of Pope Francis’s encyclical Laudato Si’, offering an original eucharistic and doxological lens to understand the integral ecology proposed by the Pope. Since its release in 2015, Laudato Si’ has sparked significant discussion within the Catholic Church and beyond, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all creation and the urgent need for environmental stewardship. Despite its wide acclaim, the encyclical has also encountered resistance and varied reception, particularly within the polarized context of the U.S. Catholic Church. This variance highlights a critical need for deeper theological reflection on the encyclical’s themes to fully grasp and implement its vision.
