Jeffrey G. L. Chang, S.J., in “Religious Freedom and Peace: Modern Catholic Perspectives and Contemporary Taiwan Society,” discusses the importance of religious freedom in fostering peace and harmony. This article echoes Laudato Si’s perspective on the need for mutual respect and understanding between different belief systems (nos. 210–211) as a foundation for a sustainable future. It underscores the encyclical’s view that peace with the environment and among peoples is a collective responsibility, nurtured through freedom and respect. – Editor
