Theological foundation for a christian ecology Fundamentación teológica para una ecología cristiana A proposal for education

Abstract

Humanity is immersed in a problem that it must definitely face: the anti-ecological attitudes that have brought serious consequences to the planet. As there are many franks from whom these attitudes can be confronted, a call is made here from the Christian faith, specifically the Catholic, to think of proposals that transform the vision of each citizen and especially that of Christians. As it is possible that the anti-ecological paradigm that humanity follows today has been influenced by religion, it is also possible that in it is found the theological foundation that allows the emergence and implementation of a Christian ecology. The exhaustive review of the Holy Scriptures, the vision of some Church fathers, and the consideration of the ecclesial magisterium of the last three pontiffs, will reveal the understanding of a knowledge about Creation, which is immersed in the theological world, for offer some contributions to education. This followed a documentary-type methodology with a marked hermeneutic character that allowed nature and man to be " religious" in a harmonious and loving way, just as God projected his merciful love from the moment of creation.
