CAPITALISMO E RELIGIOSIDADE AMBIENTAL: UMA REFLEXÃO A LUZ DA CARTA ENCÍCLICA LAUDATO SI’ DO SANTO PADRE FRANCISCO

The encyclical Laudato Si’ concluded in 2015 is a milestone for ecoteology, it is the first document issued by a Pontiff fully dedicated to the subject. The objective was to analyze the environmental religious behavior from the encyclical Laudato Si' of Pope Francis and assumed the profile of bibliographical research of the descriptive type, starting from the analysis of the encyclical, the sacred scriptures, articles, theses, dissertations and books. The document denounces the problem of the economic and financial system that oppresses the environment and living beings to the detriment of a privileged few, urging for an attitude of intolerance towards the injustices and inequalities committed. The orientation is for the Church to reflect on faith and reason, act in a humble, welcoming way and promote dialogue. The encyclical leads to an ecological conversion following the example of the Patron of Ecology – Saint Francis of Assisi.
