In response to Pope Francis' new 43,000-word social encyclical, I briefly discuss how Neil Young's lengthy 2012 song "Walk Like a Giant" expresses the desire of many people today now to return to the pre-pandemic world -- and walk like giants on the land. But the pope has had enough of our walking like giants on the land. But Neil Young memorably expresses how the pandemic makes us feel like a leaf floating in a stream.
