From the Ground Up

The Roman Catholic church is maybe the last place that many people would expect leadership in addressing the climate crisis. And yet that is happening, through a series of papal encyclicals (starting with the late pope Francis' Laudato Si') and grassroots action which joins human needs to the world's needs. In a two-part interview, Tashia Toupin and Cindy Wallace talk through the roots of this commitment in Catholic social teaching, and some of the life implications.

Prof Cindy Wallace is the Director of the Irene and Doug Schmeiser Centre for Faith, Reason, Peace and Justice at St Thomas More College, University of Saskatchewan

Tashia Toupin is the Social Justice Coordinator with the archdiocese of Regina.
