But, in the words of Saint John Paul II, the world needs a global ecological conversion before it is too late. The world is already grievously wounded, and its continued degradation is having the greatest immediate impact upon the poor. Appealing to “every person living on this planet,” drawing on the wisdom of the tradition of the church and the teachings of previous popes, with this encyclical Pope Francis reaches out to begin a “dialogue with all people” about what we are doing to our planet.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pope Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44666387693790,"sku":"B-039","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/2523\/5422\/files\/CareonOurCommonHome.jpg?v=1705112262"},{"product_id":"ivory-san-damiano-crucifix","title":"Ivory Florentine Crucifix","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis gorgeous ivory crucifix carries an Art Deco flare and features an exhausted Christ, hanging from the cross.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis crucifix is a beautiful interpretation Christ's passion. \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt makes a great gift for housewarming parties, newlyweds, or engagement parties.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA crucifix is a must-have for every Catholic home.
