Listen "121 Catholics and the Environment: Beyond Laudato Si"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Pamela talks to Dr Celia Deane-Drummond, director of Laudato Si about the environment. She explains:
- How can we reclaim a spiritual and sacramental understanding of creation that is rooted in Catholic tradition rather than ideology?
- What are small but meaningful ways everyday Catholics can live out this theology at home, in the city, or even in an apartment.
- How does understanding creation as a dynamic, evolving process change how we treat the earth practically? Does it affect how we view waste, consumption, or even farming?
-What are three practical practices rooted in Catholic spirituality that someone can begin today to “care for our common home” without burning out or being scrupulous?
- How does the Eucharist shape our relationship with the natural world? Can living a Eucharistic life influence how we shop, eat, and waste?
- Which virtue do you think is most lacking in how we treat creation—and how can we cultivate that in daily life?
- If a parish wanted to deepen its ecological spirituality beyond recycling bins and solar panels, what would you suggest they do—liturgically, catechistically, or communally?
