A encíclica “Laudato Si´”: bem intencionada, mas economicamente insensata
A encíclica “Laudato Si´”: bem intencionada, mas economicamente insensata
Mar 28, 2026 1:32 PM

On Friday, the Instituto Ludwig von Mises Brasil published a Portuguese translation of Samuel Gregg’s recent article about the economic flaws in Pope Francis’s environment encyclical. Matheus Pacini of the IMB translated mentary, originally published June 19 in The American Spectator.

Nos dias posteriores à publicação da nova encíclica do papa Francisco, Laudato Si’ (Louvado Seja), a maioria entários abordava as possíveis implicações da mesma para o debate sobre as mudanças climáticas.

Um esforço para influenciar esse discussão — sendo que boa parte o Al Gore, já desapareceu das manchetes dos noticiários e se confinou a organizações internacionais, ONGs, burocratas governamentais e lobistas profissionais — é claramente parte da intenção imediata da encíclica.

Gregg is the Acton Institute’s director of research. The full Portuguese translation can be read here, and the original The American Spectator article in English is here.

Law signed protecting filtering industry
President Bush signed a bill into law yesterday that panies such as ClearPlay from litigation for copyright infringement.

Consumers are free to purchase this item or not, depending on the sensitivity of their tastes and the ability of the ClearPlay device to cater to their demands. My initial reaction is that this is a positive move from the government, protecting a potentially prosperous and burgeoning industry. It...

Tithing is practiced by very few Americans at only four percent, according to Barna, though good stewardship remains an important priority for Christians. Ultimately, Barna explained, “Americans are willing to give more generously than they typically do,...

A number of issues are involved, including questions about national security, economic concerns, and cultural values.
