Sr. Elizabeth Riebschlaeger
With his encyclical “Laudato Si/Praise Be to You”, Pope Francis has moved to the front
of the line in the long list of world leaders calling for a global response to a global
environmental crisis. This work has brought joy to many, and a spiritual crisis of faith
for others. Members of other world religious bodies, environmental scientists and many
political leaders have welcomed Francis’ contribution with enthusiasm, while others
seek for ways to discredit it. Each of us has a moral obligation to know what Francis’
message is, and to ask ourselves: “How will I respond?”

thirst to learn more about this awesome and loving God.

message is, and to ask ourselves: “How will I respond?”
Rev. Bob Knippenberg
In our post-Christian culture, there is a lot of ignorance, criticism, misinformation, and
“trash talk” about the Bible. As a result, Christians today will face many objections

objections against the Bible in our culture. These ten objections in no way exhaust all the
doubts people might have about the Bible, but they are the ones you will most frequently
encounter.
