Catholic Earthcare: Seven questions to guide reflection on integral ecology
Pope Francis’ plan encompasses seven sectors in the community: families, dioceses, schools, universities, hospitals/health care centres, business/agricultural farms and religious orders. He outlined seven Laudato Si’ goals or ways of measuring ecology in the spirit of Laudato Si’.
Catholic Earthcare’s questions provide a way of framing/guiding thoughts and actions to engage with the world today. There are two sets of questions, one for individuals, the other for groups. There are then three examples of further questions you might ask, based on three different events: one relating to an event that invites ecological conversion, another for footprint reduction and a third for raising a prophetic voice. No list of questions is exhaustive; they are designed to stimulate thinking.
