The Laudato Si' Institute at Radboud University and the think-tank Socires take this moment as an opportunity to renew our commitment to this vision of healing and justice for all creatures. We reaffirm our dedication to hearing the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor; to pursuing a truly integral ecology; and to supporting and enabling academia, politics and society to protect our common home. Radboud University remains committed to the Laudato Si themes, especially so from the international perspective of the Federation of Catholic Universities (FIUC), for which the pope has also always been a great inspiration.
We continue to honour and reflect on the legacy of Pope Francis with this encyclical. In 2025 we will do this with the Inaugural Lecture of the Special Professor of Integral Ecology Carmody Grey on 21st November, accompanied by a symposium on the significance and contemporary relevance of Laudato Si', as well as special publication to mark the 10th anniversary of Laudato Si'.
The Laudato Si' Institute and Socires are happy to accommodate any questions from the press or interested public on the legacy of this Pope, especially in relation to Laudato Si’.
Continuing the Legacy of Pope Francis
The death of Pope Francis marks a critical moment for all who are dedicated to the realisation of the vision of Laudato Si'. In the extraordinary legacy of this Pope, Laudato Si' holds a unique place, expressing an all-encompassing vision and an impressive concern for future generations. It calls upon all people of good will to contribute to the shared flourishing of society, the biosphere, and all of creation.
