** Pope: Caring for creation means caring for your brother and sister
In a message to participants in an international congress about his 2015 environmental encyclical "Laudato Si" and the challenges of those dwelling in large cities, Pope Francis said these challenges need to be met with "three Rs:" Respect, responsibility and relationship.

** Conley: Evangelizing includes thinking outside the bureaucratic box
Catholic bishops may have a lot of bureaucratic duties to perform, but that doesn't mean bishops believe the solution to the Church's problems is always bureaucratic. Pressed for an example of evangelical creativity, for instance, Bishop James Conley of Lincoln, Nebraska, points to a lawyer who sets up tables at football games every weekend, handing out rosaries and answering questions about Catholicism.
