No ecology without anthropology, nor can “create a world where more social justice and less human beings suffer because of selfishness” without outlining “what is human and what is destined to be in the work of the creation”. This has been the central thesis of the conference with Monsignor Carlos Osorio, archbishop of Madrid, closed Friday during summer Faith in God the creator, science and ecology in the twenty-first century, organized by the Ecclesiastical University of San Damaso in the framework of the summer courses at the Complutense University of Madrid in San Lorenzo de El Escorial.
Analyzing the message of Pope Francisco in Laudato si, Archbishop of Madrid said that “the ecological crisis has a human root” . Therefore, solutions should be articulated “around a concept of person” who “the Pope refers to God. Only in reference to their origin and destiny in God the human being is recognized as a son of the gift and made the donation. ” “We are not the masters of creation. We are not even masters of our own body and our life. ” Without this logic of gift “we will discuss the ecology but destroy the planet, because it will destroy the human being.”
Is why ecology is enriched “with the contribution of traditions” religious that “give substantive proposals’ , he stressed Archbishop Osoro. As a consequence, also to solve the environmental issue “is essential religious freedom.” “Not only to let me talk here,” but also “to let me express myself in public life” and “create institutions fruit of this experience” of faith, he added. “This right is being attacked in different parts of the world so brutal or more subtle.”
Also Chancellor of San Damaso concluded by asking “a grand bargain between states” and “our nation” for make possible “worldwide educational change” that go to the bottom of the anthropological crisis and resolve what Benedict XVI called “educational emergency”. This new way of understanding education should focus “on the good of the people, not ideological interests” and include “the submission of religion” and “a concept open to the other man” and “knowing that is gift someone bigger than him and is supported by greater than he “Someone.
