Can Francis Get Catholics to Care About Ecology?

The pontiff has announced that on October 4 (the feast day of St. Francis), he will issue a new exhortation that renews his urgent call to care for the environment. Touted as an updated Laudato si’, the document should instill hope. But many U.S. Catholics don’t seem to share Francis’s concern over what he recently called the “senseless war against our common home.” Are his teachings falling on deaf (or partisan) ears?
