Vatican Commission Reframes Ecological Sin as Sin Against Creation and the Creator

The International Theological Commission released a lengthy document urging ecological conversion and redefining ecological sin as a sin against both creation and the Creator, arguing that harming the environment harms the poor and future generations. It frames a threefold cultural shift since the 16th century, advocates 'situated anthropocentrism' as humanity's steward, ties ecological ethics to the Eucharist, and offers practical guidelines and calls for interreligious cooperation as part of Pope Francis’s Season of Creation.
