Responsabilità ecologica, imperativo categorico

A patriarchal message released for the start of the new ecclesiastical year describes the current ecological crisis as a threat to human freedom, religion, philosophy, culture, and ethics.

The message coincides with the Giornata solenne di preghiera per l’ambiente naturale on September 1, 2026. The text notes that the contemporary ecological crisis involves many dimensions and highlights the harmful alteration of the natural environment.
