Abstract

It may be that on the basis of doctrine, the task of raising awareness and that this purpose can delineate the ethical approaches that humanity requires and needs to understand once and for all, because it already perceives, the damage that infringes the earth , despite appreciating it, refuses to participate pedagogically in practical solutions for their care, with which the different religious confessions occupy part of their dynamic of faith and conviction in making repeated calls to the human groups that follow their discourse, and injecting their own dynamics in their particular style they seek to create social awareness around a proposed dilemma, and it is the environmental issue and the direction taken by the eager proposals that some of these leaders present in exhortations, which translate into warnings and warnings about an environmental debacle that it affects us today and that can be the trigger for a deterioration of the human race and its environment, where beings and ivos will march towards an amazing sunset. The technique of the hand of man contributes greatly to development, but the ballast accompanies inventiveness and industrialization. Thus, throughout the present study, we are going to analyze the interference of religious creeds in all this paraphernalia and for that reason it is definitive to rescue the new face that confessions of faith show in this situation, because it is necessary to warn that the religion opaque the environment to the point of condemning all who need to make use of some elements of nature, but this is history, today starting a new century the churches and their practitioners, in an ethical hint seek first to compensate what once affected with their habitat rant, to make man believe that the earth was only his pantry was a mistake for centuries, now they participate in world colloquies and even produce encyclicals that call for fraternity and solidarity with the environmental issue.
