What did ecology have to do with theology? Most people viewed environmental studies as a purely sec- ular subject, a matter for natural and social science, without philosophical or theological base or focus. A few decades later, when ecology and theology did begin to come to- gether, I found myself reflecting on the lack of a Catholic presence in that movement. Christians of many denominations, and non-Christians as well, supported environmentalism, but Catholic presence was sparse and weak. When I would ask movement participants about this, they would respond, “Was not Francis of Assisi Catholic? Were not Teilhard deChar- din, Thomas Merton, Thomas Berry [all three ordained priests] Catholic? Where do you think we non-Catholics get our inspiration? It is from these giants of Catholic teaching and their followers.” And yet, active church- going Catholics were not similarly inspired and were largely absent from the dialogue of the 1980s and 1990s, as well as in the years since. Today, though, change is afoot. As Catholics begin to consider the envi- ronment as a moral and spiritual issue, the institutional Catholic Church is still dragging its feet. Many religious orders—including the Jesuits, Fran- ciscans, monastic orders, and womens’ orders—have embraced the link- ages between theology and ecology, but the mainline institutional Catholic Church, the local parish, other Catholic institutions, and Catholic priests and bishops in general are simply not acculturated in modern times to this kind of focus on God’s Creation. x Preface But a new force has now arrived on the scene: Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Buenos Aires has been elected Pope, the number-one prelate in the Cath- olic Church. And he has chosen for his name and inspiration St. Francis of Assisi, radical environmentalist and ecological thinker par excellence. In fact, I cannot think of a more radical ecological thinker than the man from Assisi—and Pope Francis has chosen to emulate him. Global circumstances related to climate change and, as well, to the peaking of oil production, threaten to demand of us radical change. This man and his prophetic wisdom may lead us through this challenge. He recognizes that environmental destruction, which is essentially an assault on the Creation, is a moral issue. Pope Francis is not the first to say it, but his is a particularly powerful voice. Pope Francis has said that nature reflects the design of God: Even for the protection of creation we must overcome the culture of waste. Creation is the gift that God has given to humanity so it can be protected, cultivated, used for our livelihood, and handed over to future generations. We are called to care for creation, its beauty, and to respect all creatures of God and the environment in which we live. If we fail in this responsibility, if we do not take care of our brothers and sisters and of all creation, destruction will advance. When humanity, instead of being custodian, considers itself to be the master, it becomes creator of ignorance and moves toward destruction. God has placed men and women at the head of creation and has entrusted them with the earth. The design of God the Creator is inscribed in nature.1 As head of the Roman Catholic Church as well as a priest and bishop, Pope Francis, it is assumed, has strong grounding in theology. But few real- ize that Pope Francis is also a trained scientist—an industrial chemist—and therefore also able to see things from a scientific perspective. His under- standing of climate change, species biodiversity, and environmental science in general is likely deeper than most might think. And while most people know he is a Jesuit—in fact, the first Jesuit Pope in history—few realize his typically Jesuit commitment to intense dialogue representing all sides of every issue. (This comes through very clearly in his environmental encyc- lical, Laudato Si’, and raises discomfort among those who see this dialogue as a threat to their interests and those who do not favor the transparency that such a commitment to open debate brings.) An emphasis on debate and transparency is not something we commonly see today in society, as we are surrounded by many people and institutions that do not encourage deep dialogue out of fear of the transparency it yields. Focus light intensely Preface xi on any subject, and your understanding of the subject may well change. Such a major focus is embodied in the first papal encyclical focused on the environment: Pope Francis’s Laudato Si’: On Care for Our Common Home.2 Pope Francis has said that “whatever is fragile, like the environment, is defenseless before the interests of a deified market.”3 Pope Francis’s “big things,” his key concerns, are money (or the market), as an idol of worship, and the connection between climate change (as well as a whole array of environmental problems) and human poverty. His encyclical shows great concern for a false belief in technology as a god, a god that we worship. The release of Pope Francis’s much-discussed encyclical on the environ- ment has reinforced environmental issues as moral and spiritual concerns. Pope Francis has raised the bar substantially, and many around the world will now see climate change, biodiversity, agricultural practice, deforesta- tion, and other environmental questions in the light of moral values and spirituality.

  • Dharmic Environmentalism: Hindu Traditions and Ecological Care By
    Dharmic Environmentalism: Hindu Traditions and Ecological Care by © Rebecca Cairns A Thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts, Memorial University, Religious Studies Memorial University of Newfoundland August, 2020 St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador ABstract In the midst of environmental degradation, Religious Studies scholars have begun to assess whether or not religious traditions contain ecological resources which may initiate the restructuring of human-nature relationships. In this thesis, I explore whether it is possible to locate within Hindu religious traditions, especially lived Hindu traditions, an environmental ethic. By exploring the arguments made by scholars in the fields of Religion and Ecology, I examine both the ecological “paradoxes” seen by scholars to be inherent to Hindu ritual practice and the ways in which forms of environmental care exist or are developing within lived religion. I do the latter by examining the efforts that have been made by the Bishnoi, the Chipko Movement, Swadhyay Parivar and Bhils to conserve and protect local ecologies and sacred landscapes. ii Acknowledgements I express my gratitude to the supportive community that I found in the Department of Religious Studies. To Dr. Patricia Dold for her invaluable supervision and continued kindness. This project would not have been realized without her support. To my partner Michael, for his continued care, patience, and support. To my friends and family for their encouragement. iii List of Figures Figure 1: Inverted Tree of Life ……………………. 29 Figure 2: Illustration of a navabatrikā……………………. 34 Figure 3: Krishna bathing with the Gopis in the river Yamuna.

Vena, B.A., M.A. A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin December 2009 ABSTRACT BEYOND STEWARDSHIP: TOWARD AN AGAPEIC ENVIRONMENTAL ETHIC Christopher J. Vena, B.A., M.A. Marquette University, 2009 One of the unfortunate implications of industrialization and the rapid expansion of global commerce is the magnification of the impact that humans have on their environment. Exponential population growth, along with growing technological capabilities, has allowed human societies to alter their terrain in unprecedented and destructive ways. The cumulative effect has been significant to the point that the blame for widespread environmental degradation must be pinned squarely on human shoulders. Because of our dependence on these systems for survival, the threat to the environment is a threat to human life. The root of the ecological crisis is found in human attitudes and behaviors. In the late 1960’s it was suggested that Christianity was a key source of the problem because it promoted the idea of human “dominion” over creation.

ENVIRONMENTAL RELIGION: A THEOLOGICAL CRITIQUEt Robert H. Nelsont Environmentalism is a type of modem religion. This observation is not as controversial as it might seem. Indeed, many leading envi- ronmentalists have characterized their own efforts in religious terms.' Joseph Sax once wrote that he and fellow preservationists were "secu- lar prophets, preaching a message of secular salvation."2 Theodore Roszak stated in The Voice of the Earth that environmental objectives have a "frankly religious character,, 3 and that the ultimate environ- mental goal should be "to heal the soul of its wounds and guide it to salvation. ' 4 John Muir, the founder of the Sierra Club, wrote of a desire to go to the "'high temples of the great Sierra Crown beyond our holy Yosemite"' in order to "'worship with Nature."' 5 Critics of environmentalism often agree that it is a form of religion-although for them it is a misguided faith.
