Abstract

Abstract The article examines whether the Catholic Bishop’s Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) has become “dark green.” It explores CBCP’s pastoral letters on environmental issues from 1988 to 2019. Using the framework outlined by Bron Taylor in Dark Green Religion: Nature, Spirituality, and the Planetary Future, I argue that there are shifts in the environmental consciousness of the Catholic Bishops, as evident in the pastoral letters. Since 1988, the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines has exhibited a reliable commitment to environmentalism and its prophetic mission amidst various environmental challenges.

菲律宾的罗马天主教会变成了墨绿色吗？菲律宾天主教主教会议从反采矿到应对气候危机的环保主义

摘要本文探讨菲律宾天主教主教团是否已经变成“墨绿色”。它探讨了CBCP从1988年到2019年关于环境问题的牧函。利用布朗·泰勒在《深绿色宗教:自然、灵性和地球的未来》一书中概述的框架，我认为天主教主教的环境意识发生了转变，这在牧函中是显而易见的。自1988年以来，菲律宾天主教主教团在各种环境挑战中表现出对环境保护主义及其预言使命的可靠承诺。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Practical Theology is an academic journal. It is intended for practical theologians and teachers of religious education, scientists specializing in religion, and representatives of other cultural-scientific disciplines. The aim of the journal is to promote an international and interdisciplinary dialogue. The journal contains contributions on an empirically descriptive and critically constructive theory of ecclesiastical and religious practice in society. Primarily, it deals with descriptions of religion as it is practised. Religion in this context can be understood in the broad sense of the word according to which all appreciative tendencies towards an ultimate view of oneself and of the world can be described as being religious.
