If you don't know what a 'encyclical' is, Wikipedia describes it as "a Papal encyclical is specific category of papal document, a kind of letter concerning Catholic doctrine, sent by the Pope and usually addressed especially to patriarchs, primates, archbishops and bishops who are in communion with the Holy See." The climate change encyclical was first put out in 2015. Trump famously has implied that climate change is a hoax, and has called it 'bullshit' in the past, and he has already started to unravel Barack Obama's Clean Power Plan. According to the press pool, Trump response to the gift was:@Pontifex Correction: Pope Francis gave Trump a copy of the climate change encyclical, but signed a World Day of Peace msg, not the encyclical.
