THE SET GUIDELINES OF AN ETHICAL ENVIRONMENTAL PARADGYM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

Abstract

The Catholic Church today emerges as a strong defender of a right to a balanced environment, establishing in its doctrine an ethical guideline that integrates with the new ethical conceptions of the environment. Make it a problem from the historical development and doctrinal, to what extent the Catholic Church, through the Synod for Amazon, understands its doctrinal bases to integrate the environment to its ethical guidelines. The general objective is to identify the doctrinal bases that led the church to perceive the recognition of the environment. This demonstrates how the church proposes a change in the current ethical system as well as a reformulation of its historical ethical aspect. It is evident in the research that there is a change in the ethical paradigm adopted by the institution, as well as the recognition of choices that do not condone the doctrine in the historical context. The scientific work concludes that the church proposes a reflection on environmental ethics. Consequently, there is a new proposal for a paradigm in theology that influences ecclesiastical doctrines. From the methodological point of view, it is exploratory research. The analysis is a qualitative one, the methodology is deductive in the theoretical construction and the research is based on the collection of documentary files and bibliographic funds.
