Laudate Deum (Praise God) is an apostolic exhortation by Pope Francis, published on October 4, 2023.[1] It was released on the 2023 Feast of St Francis Assisi as a follow-up to his 2015 encyclical Laudato si'. The text is about 8,000 words divided into 73 paragraphs.[2]
In it, Pope Francis calls for speedier action against the climate crisis and condemns climate change denial.[3]
The apostolic exhortation, dated 4 October 2023, was officially presented the following day—Thursday morning, October 5—in a press conference called “Laudate Deum: voices and testimonies on the climate crisis”, held in the Vatican Gardens, in Largo della Radio, in front of the Palazzina Leone XIII of the Vatican.[4]
The Vatican released the document in Italian, Belarusian, German, English, Spanish, French, Polish, Portuguese and Arabic.
It was Pope Francis' sixth apostolic exhortation, after Querida Amazonia, which was released in 2020.[5]
