In this episode of "The Francis Effect" podcast, National Catholic Reporter senior correspondent Heidi Schlumpf, columnist Daniel Horan and David Dault discuss the economic, global and social effects of the Trump administration's use of tariffs as a kind of "economic weapon."
They also talk about preaching on creation, including how those at the pulpit can speak about the ongoing climate crisis, and why they should.
Later, Heidi interviews Stephanie Clary, NCR's environment editor, about the 10th anniversary of Pope Francis' environmental encyclical "Laudato Si', on Care for Our Common Home."
They discuss how U.S. church leaders and dioceses have responded to Laudato Si' in the past decade; why the document matters; what ordinary Catholics can do to care for creation; and much more.
