The title of Pope Francis’ next Apostolic Exhortation will be Laudate Deum, the Pope revealed, while addressing participants in a meeting of Latin American university rectors in the Vatican, and as he vehemently warned against a throwaway culture.

The Holy Father shared this on 21 September when addressing some 200 participants in the two-day meeting on the theme ‘Organising Hope’. 

The Pope reflected on various issues raised by the educators, including climate change, migration and the culture of waste. The Holy Father urged them to be creative in the formation of young people from today’s realities and challenges. 

In his reflection, the Pope announced the name of his next Apostolic Exhortation – Laudate Deum, to be published on the feast day of St Francis of Assisi, 4 October: ‘a look at what has happened and say what needs to be done,’ he said.
