Luckily, Pope Francis is taking mercy on those of us with lowly attention spans and tweeting up a storm. Here’s what the pontiff had to say:

The pope shows no sign of slowing down, so we will keep updating this article until he finishes tweeting the entire encyclical. Someone take away the pope mobile before Francis gets a bad case of corpus tunnel syndrome.
Agree – This Pope has his head screwed on! He addresses issues, not office. He is inspirational and one of those special people who can help affect change (positive) in this world. Go Popie!
Love this line – ‘concern for nature, justice for the poor, commitment to society, and interior peace.’ I don’t belive we can achieve any one of these without taking the others into account.
