Abstract
Introduction. Laudato si is a re-reading of Francis
of Assisis´ Canticle of Creatures and also is a cry
for help from Pope Francis on behalf of the Church,
a cry to God and to postmodern men, asking for
the care and the good use of mother Hearth´s
resources. Objective. Make an argumentative
and dialogic hermeneutical study about Pope
Francis´ Laudato si encyclical as mediation between
ecology and ecotheology for the benefit of the care of
the planet. Materials and method. Such study will
be made taking the hermeneutical method as a guide,
and with the help of J. Cardijn´s “see, judge, act” as
a theological-pastoral method. Result. Everything is
connected. Cosmos and human beings are all hollistic
realities that must be studied as an inter-connected
and inter- depending systems´ network, in order to
take care of the common oikia, the nature that has
been given to mankind as care takers, cultivators and
transformers.Conclusions. To keep the environment
–the Creation- Pope Francis proposes some initiatives,
among which we remark that every ecological
endeavor must be addressed to an integral ecology
(ecotheology?) that includes culture, spirituality,
axiology, charity and justice as cardinal values.
