Cohabitants of the same common home, brothers in existence in the adventure of life, co-participants in the immense and interdependent community of earthly life, animals stand side by side with humans before the eyes of the Creator. Fragile and simultaneously independent, while carrying with them everything they need for survival, they are absolutely vulnerable to growing human, manipulative and destructive power. And what have we done with this power? For some, who still remain in the wild, we invade their territories, betray their trust with traps and hunting, and take away their conditions of survival through the deterioration of the environment in which they live. Others, kidnapped and e...

In Fragile World: Ecology and the Church, scholars and activists from Christian communities as far-flung as Honduras, the Philippines, Colombia, and Kenya present a global angle on the global ecological crisis—in both its material and spiritual senses—and offer Catholic resources for responding to it. This volume explores the deep interconnections, for better and for worse, between the global North and the global South, and analyzes the relationship among the physical environment, human society, culture, theology, and economics—the “integral ecology” described by Pope Francis in Laudato Si’. Integral ecology demands that we think deeply about humans and the physical environment, ...
