Christianity, ecological crisis, ecology, Pope Francis, spiritualityAbstract
The article concerns the relationship between the contemporary ecological crisis and Christian spirituality according to the Pope’s Francis encyclical Laudato si’. It presents the concept of God as the Creator and at the same time caring Host‑Tutor of the world. Then it is indicated that Pope Francis sees beings created as co‑constructors and co‑inhabitants of this world. The third thematic area concerns depicted in Laudato si’ causes of the current ecological crisis. These data are the basis for the presentation of the positive potential of Christian spirituality, even its necessity to successfully confront the ecological crisis.References
