What is the english name of the encyclical which was written by the Bishop of Rome and the sovereign of Vatican City?
Laudato si' Laudato si' (Medieval Central Italian for "Praise be to you") is the second encyclical of Pope Francis. The encyclical has the subtitle "On Care For Our Common Home". In it, the Pope critiques consumerism and irresponsible development, laments environmental degradation and global warming, and calls all people of the world to take "swift and unified global action".
Popemobile A popemobile (Italian: "Papamobile" ] ) (from pope + automobile) is a specially designed motor vehicle used by the Catholic Pope during outdoor public appearances. It is usually considered as the heir of the antiquated "sedia gestatoria". The popemobile was designed to allow the pope to be more visible when greeting large crowds. There have been many different designs for popemobiles since Pope Paul VI first used a modified Lincoln Continental to greet crowds in New York City, in 1965. Some popemobiles are open air, while others have bulletproof glass walls to enclose the pope (deemed necessary after the 1981 Ali Ağca assassination attempt). Some allow the pope to sit while others are designed to accommodate the pope standing. The variety of popemobiles allows the Vatican to select an appropriate one for each usage depending upon the level of security needed, distance, speed of travel, and the pope's preferences.
