A draft of Pope Francis’s encyclical on climate change was leaked by Italian magazine L’Espresso on its website.

A Vatican official told Bloomberg that the publication, which broke an embargo set for Thursday, was a “heinous act”. The 192-page document is aimed at influencing the debate ahead of United Nations talks in Paris at the end of the year.
