For months, Francis has been drafting an encyclical on the environment and global warming which he hopes to release by June or July. Encyclicals are written with the help of a small group of advisers working under strict secrecy. But in a news conference as he traveled last week to the Philippines, Francis gave his strongest signal yet of the direction hell take. He said global warming was mostly man-made. And he said he wanted his encyclical out in plenty of time to be absorbed before the next round of U.N. climate change talks in Paris in November after the last round in Lima, Peru, failed to reach an agreement. I dont know if it (human activity) is the only cause, but mostly, in great part, it is man who has slapped nature in the face, Francis said. We have in a sense taken over nature. - Rachel Zoll, AP/Star Tribune
