This essay examines Pope Francis’s encyclical Laudato si’ from a Latin American perspective and its reception in this part of the world, especially in Brazil. It focuses on two aspects of Laudato si’: its dialogical approach, and the connection it makes between ecological issues and poverty. These two aspects allow us to understand Francis’s proposal of integral ecology and how the preferential option for the poor becomes central to his perspective. In addition, this essay explains how Latin American theology and pastoral experience are present in Pope Francis’s thought.

Laudato Si ': 整体生态学和穷人的优先选择

本文从拉丁美洲的角度考察了教皇方济各的通谕“赞美之词”及其在世界这一地区，尤其是巴西的接受程度。它侧重于 Laudato si' 的两个方面：它的对话方法，以及它在生态问题与贫困之间建立的联系。这两个方面使我们能够理解弗朗西斯关于整体生态的提议，以及穷人的优先选择如何成为他观点的核心。此外，本文还解释了拉美神学和牧灵经验如何出现在教皇方济各的思想中。
