Considering Two "Integral Ecology" Threads


Thread - Secular:

"Integral Ecology" developed in the 1990's as a cosmology of physics, a 'Kosmos', a paradigm of whole system conceptual thought.

Thread - Religious:

"Integral Ecology" articulated in the second decade of the 21st century and highlighted by the Catholic Church

  • Pope Francis writes of responsibility for "the Commons". His encyclical to some 1.2 billion Catholics focuses on "Integral Ecology"


Pope Francis on the Environment


October 2023


On the first day of a global Catholic 'summit', a Laudate Deum call to protect the environment is announced following up the Laudato Si encyclical, a first-of-its-kind "Integral Ecology" letter to the billion+ members and to the interfaith global community. The release of the Catholic leader's new environmental letter is a global event, the second environmental encyclical, and carries forward a profound interfaith-catholic announcement/doctrine.


Many have spoken about a 'catholic' definition of citizen action and here a dictionary definition of the word -- catholic -- finds meaning in action.

kăth′ə-lĭk, kăth′lĭk
1. Of broad or liberal scope; comprehensive.
2. Including or concerning all humankind; universal.
3. Of or involving the Roman Catholic Church.


Let's look more closely at the meaning and beliefs brought forward here. One can say, as with those who attempt to 'preserve and protect' life on Earth, that this is an eco-platform of a church called Catholic and is an ecumenical outreach worth considering universally, by all humankind. The ideas and ideals of respecting life and quality of life, is a goal we can all share.

Integral ecology is central in the eco-encyclical Laudato Si: "On Care for Our Common Home" published in May-June 2015 by Pope Francis, a first-ever Catholic 'eco-encyclical as eco-doctrine' that deserves special attention for its exceptional reach and impact in global affairs.


Catholic Pontiff Speaks of 'Integral Ecology and Common Home'


The new 2020 document from the Vatican with “Journeying for the care of the common home” offers a guide to all Christians on how to maintain a healthy relationship with Creation.

The new document coincides with the fifth anniversary of Pope Francis’ 2015 encyclical Laudato sí.

Ahead of Vatican climate change summit, skeptics issue warnings to Francis


Apr. 27, 2015

Two groups expressing doubt about the wide scientific consensus regarding global climate change have strongly criticized an upcoming Vatican summit on the issue, hosting a press conference in Rome where they also forcefully warned Pope Francis against speaking on the subject.

Claiming that globally used models of the effects of carbon emissions on the environment are invalid, speakers at the event said the pope would be making a "great mistake" if he expressed support for Tuesday's Vatican event or tackled climate change in his upcoming encyclical of the environment.
