Individual, societal and global consequences of technology development in the perspective of the encyclical Laudato Si of the Pope Francis

The development of the Catholic Social Teaching has never been the main task of the Catholic Church. However, the teaching always reflected the ratio of the Magisterium on the most pressing socio-economic issues. For instance, the encyclical Laudato Si' is devoted largely to the issues of sustainability and ecological economics. In this document, Pope Francis states that that only a sustainable economy can guarantee the full development of the man himself. The purpose of this paper is to present the consequences of technological developments in the encyclical of Pope Francis.
