Ni « écocide », ni « péché écologique » : les théologiens du Vatican choisissent un autre terme

The International Theological Commission has proposed using the term sin against the created and against the Creator to describe serious damage to the environment.

In a document released Wednesday, September 2, 2026, the Commission rejected the terms ecocide and ecological sin, which were previously used during the papacy of Pope Francis to describe grave environmental harm.
