Subsequently he has had press credentials for the Vatican lifted.<\/p>\n<p>I have seen multiple reports of somebody in the Vatican calling this a &#8220;heinous act&#8221;, although have not seen a actual source for this. If accurate this is pure hyperbole. Yes reprisal against Magister is appropriate for violating the embargo, &#8220;heinous act&#8221;? &#8212; not really. As if this Encyclical needed more drama involved.<\/p>\n<p>Contrary to some reports the name of the Encyclical &#8220;Laudato Si&#8221; is not Latin for &#8220;People heads blow up.&#8221; I&#8217;ve been taking a rather novel approach to the whole thing. That is actually waiting to read it before forming an opinion in any way.<\/p>\n<p>I would recommend Larry D&#8217;s <a title=\"10 Things That Won\u2019t Be In Pope Francis\u2019 Encyclical \u2018Laudato Sii\u2019\" href=\"http:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/actsoftheapostasy\/2015\/06\/16\/10-things-that-wont-be-in-pope-francis-encyclical-laudato-si\/\">10 Things That Won&#8217;t Be In Pope Francis&#8217; Encyclical &#8216;Laudato Sii&#8217;<\/a> for both the humorous list and the sage advice.<\/p>\n<p>Still it will be an interesting upside down week when <em>progressive Catholics<\/em> tell us how we must obey the Pope&#8217;s teachings and <em>conservative Catholics<\/em> tell us how we don&#8217;t have to.
