On the eve of COP26, Pope Francis declared “
Time is running out
”. The encyclical Laudato, published in 2015, marked a strong commitment of the Church in the ecological transition and demonstrated that everything was linked, environmental crisis, climate change, mode of production and consumption. Likewise, for François, the ecological question challenges our way of being in the world, of inhabiting it and of thinking about technical progress. We find this reflection in the voluminous essay by
Isabelle Priaulet "
Thinking the philosophical foundations of ecological conversion / For an ecology of resonance
"
(Labor and Fides)
.
However, historic churches have taken a long time to come out of an anthropocentric vision of Creation.
The sociologist of religions
Christophe Monnot
, co-author with Frédéric Rognon of the essay
“
Churches and ecology, a backward revolution
” (Labor and Fides)
retraces the history of this slow conversion.
We will close this program with
“Laudato Si”, the
name given to one of their organic Gamays by
Régis and Aude-Reine Anouil, a
couple of winegrowers from the
domain of La Bénisson-Dieu.
