LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The Italian magazine broke an embargo on the document, which was set to be released on Thursday.
Pope Francis' encyclical is his first major teaching letter on climate change and the effect it has on the planet and the planet's poor. "Hailed by some as the 'pope of the poor,' Francis' linkage of environmental and economic issues puts the Vatican out front on a closely watched topic," stated Time Magazine.
The Vatican is describing the leaking of all 192 pages of Pope Francis' work as a "heinous act," according to Bloomberg News.
"An Italian text of a draft of the Pope's Encyclical 'Laudato Si' has been published. Please note that it is not the final text, and that the rules of the Embargo remain in place," read an official statement from the Vatican. "We ask journalists to respect professional standards, which call for waiting for the official publication of the final text."
