Sažetak
In Laudato si’ Pope Francis describes what is happening to our common home, then considers a theological and sociological approach to today’s crisis — the responsibility of humanity — and examines the concept of “integral ecology” as a new social sustainability values framework. In this paper integral ecology is conceptually inseparable from integral society. The great contribution by environmental sociology is emphasized since the subject of analysis thereof are the social causes and effects of environmental change. In the encyclical Laudato si’ Pope Francis promotes the principle of the “common good” on three levels — individual, social, and global — in which we find all elements of the Church’s social doctrine, such as solidarity and subsidiarity, the common good, justice, participation and “commitment” to the poor.
