b'FIVELaudato si carries an unprecedentedly clear moral message about poverty and ecology. Its message is about global inequality and how the plight of those who live in poverty is intimately connected with the degradation of the earth. Pope Francis sees a direct link between these situations, and this is unsurprising given his own pastoral experiences with the poor. He believes we cannot divorce the human social condition from a deteriorating environment, particularly as it affects those who live in poverty. In particular, he recognizes that the poor are most affected by environmental harm despite often doing least to cause it, and thus recognizes that an ecological debt exists between rich and poor nations (LS 51) .SIXLaudato si is a view from the ground up and not from the top down.Pope Francis seeks a Church more in touch with the sheep whose pastors listen to their people and, in his words, have the odour of sheep. 3For Pope Francis, collegiality (that is, the pope governing the Church in partnership with the bishops) is a key reform goal of his papacy. He wants that style of governance to begin with him, and collegiality is thus on prominent display in this encyclical. Laudato si reflects the local expression of the Church through more than twenty references to the ecological work of local episcopal conferences around the world. ARTICLE 11'
