Just How “Green” Is Christianity? Commemorating the 25th Anniversary of Patriarch Bartholomew

Sacred Space Astronomy avatarPosted on February 13, 2017 by Fr. James KurzynskiFebruary 13, 2017
This entry is part of 27 in the series Integral Ecology

A lesson quickly learned when studying theology is that the terms liberal and conservative are of little to no help. In a culture that demonizes such labels, there can be a deep desire to find a different language that transcends the volatility of these terms. Traditionally, theologians will use the terms Orthodoxy (correct belief) and Orthopraxy (the proper practice and application of our belief). When the terms liberal and conservative are removed in favor of Orthodoxy and Orthopraxy, one quickly finds that authentic Christian belief is a fascinating weave, providing a beautiful tapestry of the world that fails to fit nicely into a cultural ideology, limited by political designations. One of the clearest examples of this transcendent tapestry is ecology and care for creation. As a priest for the Catholic Church that is pro-life, pro-family, pro-personal responsibility, and pro-subsidiarity, many find it contradictory for Catholics to also be pro-immigration, pro-workers rights, pro-solidarity, pro-preferential option for the poor, and pro-ecology. An example … Continue reading →

COP21: Understanding the Paris Climate Change Conference in Light of Laudato Si’.

Sacred Space Astronomy avatarPosted on December 7, 2015 by Fr. James KurzynskiMarch 25, 2016
This entry is part of 27 in the series Integral Ecology

It’s no secret that one of Pope Francis’ goals with his Encyclical Laudato Si’ was to influence the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris (COP21).  So, how much influence is Laudato Si’ having upon COP21?  Since I am the pastor of a parish and not a member of the media, I’ll leave that question for others to answer.  However, by analyzing what is coming out of the meetings through the media, I feel confident in saying that COP21 is definitely adapting the same mentality Pope Francis encouraged the fathers (and mothers) of the Synod on Marriage and Family Life to have: Speak boldly and hold nothing back.  My proof of this is that, on the first day of the gathering, a coalition of close to 40 countries and a myriad of business leaders have called for an end to fossil fuel subsidies; France is investing two billion Euros to help Africa develop renewable energy sources; and a coalition of 11 countries, including the United States, has given 248 million … Continue reading →

The Book of Revelation and the Environment: 1995 Waterborne Symposium – Aegean Sea

Sacred Space Astronomy avatarPosted on February 20, 2017 by Fr. James KurzynskiMarch 5, 2017
This entry is part of 27 in the series Integral Ecology

I had never thought of the Book of Revelation as containing an ecological message until recently. In my childhood, I fell into the trap that most do of seeing the gloom and doom of Revelation in a way that literally scared the “Hell” out of me. In my college years, I revisited the Book of Revelation through the lens of it being a book of hope for the early Christians under the persecution of Nero. In seminary, there was a push to approach Revelation from a liturgical perspective, seeing in its mystic and symbolic language a type of “code” the author used to communicate a mystical experience of celebrating the Eucharist. Recently, I have discovered a new approach to Revelation as being profoundly connected to the environment, arguing that when we are not in right relationship with God the impact is not only personal, but global. This vision of Revelation containing a commentary on our environment was a central theme … Continue reading →

Human Ecology: What Is It?

Sacred Space Astronomy avatarPosted on April 13, 2015 by Fr. James KurzynskiMarch 25, 2016
This entry is part of 27 in the series Integral Ecology

WARNING: This post is not about Astronomy.  However, since the subject of this post will be the media buzz for a while (in a good way), I felt it was important to cover. Rumors have been afloat that Pope Francis’ next Encyclical on Human Ecology will be published soon.  There are many hopes (and fears) Catholics have expressed to me about what this Encyclical will contain.  My fear is that we will endure, once again, a media blitz of “Pope Francis is ‘finally’ modernizing the Church” stories.  In defense of the forthcoming spin doctors, Human Ecology as a theological category is quite new.  This newness will provoke a predictable question among the faithful: What is Human Ecology? My first exposure to Human Ecology as a theological category was through the writings of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. After hearing of his early decision to pull Vatican City off the Roman power grid by installing solar panels, my curiosity was peaked. In time, … Continue reading →

Seeing is Believing: The Role Astronomy Plays in Understanding Global Climate Change.

Sacred Space Astronomy avatarPosted on December 14, 2015 by Fr. James KurzynskiMarch 25, 2016
This entry is part of 27 in the series Integral Ecology

I’ll believe it when I see it!  This pithy truism of our culture is often used to force hard data in the face of doubt.  Though this mentality has its limits, it also has its strengths, demanding that clear, empirical evidence be provided as proof that something is true.  For example, for years we have heard about the potential of water on Mars and, year after year, we hear of discoveries that point to the existence of water on the red planet.  On September 28th of this year, another announcement of the discover of water on Mars was made, but this time the news seemed to catch much more attention than previous discoveries.  The reason this finding made more news than those of the past is rather simple: NASA now has images in which they can actually see soil moisture on Mars’ surface in addition to chemical analysis that confirms the high probability of water being present. (For a good interview … Continue reading →

When Religion and Science Sought To Save The Black Sea: 1997 Waterborne Symposium

Sacred Space Astronomy avatarPosted on March 6, 2017 by Fr. James KurzynskiMarch 7, 2017
This entry is part of 27 in the series Integral Ecology

What would it take to “kill off” an entire sea? In the late 1990’s, those who depend on the Black Sea for food and the stability of their economy wondered if this question had become reality. In the 1980’s, the Black Sea was seen by many as a body of water that could feed the world given its abundance of aquatic life. In the late 1990’s, this bountiful sea was being transformed into a kind of “underwater desert.” Fishermen were coming back with empty nets, promising both economic hardship and social difficulties given the region’s dependence upon the Black Sea for food. This shocking turn of events led world leaders to ask a logical question: What happened to this bountiful body of water? A simple summary of a very complex problem was that the amount of pollutants finding their way into the Black Sea was dramatically increasing. As these pollutants were being introduced, the chemistry of the Black Sea was … Continue reading →

Laudato Si’ – Encyclical on Ecology: Post #1: Let’s All Take a Deep Breath

Sacred Space Astronomy avatarPosted on June 19, 2015 by Fr. James KurzynskiMarch 25, 2016
This entry is part of 27 in the series Integral Ecology

Pope Francis’ new Encyclical is now one day old and, as feared, the spin doctors are hard at work praising or vilifying the text based on presumptions instead of actually reading what is in the document.  Amid migraine provoking drum beats accusing the Pope of Socialism, Communism, population “control-ism,” and superficial rants about “Pope Francis’ letter sharing his opinions on climate change,” what we actually have is arguably the most significant contribution in the modern era to Catholic Social Teaching as it pertains to stewardship of creation. So, how do we wade through the sea of ideological screams to get to the heart of this Encyclical?  In the weeks to come, I will be offering a series of posts on Laudato Si’ to explore the meat of the Encyclical.  To be upfront, I am not an expert on Ecology nor would I consider myself a student of Eco-theology.  What I am is a Catholic Priest, a Parish Pastor, a former High School religion … Continue reading →

When the Heavens and Earth Were Sacred: Recapturing a Sacramental Worldview.

Sacred Space Astronomy avatarPosted on March 7, 2016 by Fr. James KurzynskiMarch 25, 2016
This entry is part of 27 in the series Integral Ecology

As we continue our election cycle in the United States, there is a phrase I hear from time to time that always gives me a moment of pause: The Politics of the Environment.  This sentiment is often accompanied by numerous arguments, pro and con, about different legislative matters pertaining to ecology, both locally and nationally.  At one level, this question of environmental politics is understandable, given that ecology has become a “line in the sand” for candidates on both sides of the political isle.  However, from the perspective of a Catholic Priest, I always cringe when the environment is reduced to such rhetoric.  The reason for this discomfort is that Catholic theology views creation first through sacramental eyes before we focus on how this gift should be used (or not used) to build up human dignity.  This piece will explore the sacramental worldview of the Church in the hopes of giving clarity on how Catholicism views creation. The start of Catholicism’s sacramental worldview is … Continue reading →

Ideology Vs. Environment: What the Danube River can teach us about faith, ecology, politics, and human dignity.

Sacred Space Astronomy avatarPosted on May 1, 2017 by Fr. James KurzynskiMay 16, 2017
This entry is part of 27 in the series Integral Ecology

Continuing our series on the Religion, Science, and Environment (RSE) Symposia organized by the Greek Orthodox Church, today we explore the 1999 symposium on the Danube River. The previous RSE symposium explored the ecological crisis that threatening the Black Sea. One of the main themes of the symposium was how pollution from the Danube River was flowing into the Black Sea, contributing to its denigration. In light of this, it makes sense that the symposium to follow the Black Sea gathering would be held on the blue Danube. The Danube River connects ten countries with a drainage basin that finds its way into a number of other counties. The countries themselves represent some of the most war-torn regions of Europe, originating in Germany and making its way through Austria, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova, and Ukraine. These countries, along with the Czech Republic, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, have developed the International Commission for the Protection of the … Continue reading →

Laudato Si’ – Post #2: Introduction and Chapter One: A Plea for Action.

Sacred Space Astronomy avatarPosted on July 1, 2015 by Fr. James KurzynskiMay 12, 2017
This entry is part of 27 in the series Integral Ecology

In my previous post on Laudato Si’ (Post #1: Let’s All Take A Deep Breath), I encouraged you to take some time to familiarize yourself with the basic themes of Catholic Social Teaching (CST) and how the seven themes of CST create a consistent ethic of upholding human dignity at every stage of life.  In this post, we will wade into the document, looking at the Introduction and Chapter One.  We will identify the vision Pope Francis gives for this Encyclical and then look at the practical, easy to identify problems our world faces in regard to ecology and how these poor choices adversely impact human dignity. The Authority of this Encyclical: Opinion or Church Teaching? Now that Laudato Si’ has been with us for a couple of weeks, I have been watching the American media’s reception of the document.  Of the many critiques I could offer, there is one, big issue we need to clarify: What level of authority does … Continue reading →

Give Drink To The Thirsty: Ecology, Astronomy, And The Year of Mercy

Sacred Space Astronomy avatarPosted on April 18, 2016 by Fr. James KurzynskiApril 22, 2016
This entry is part of 27 in the series Integral Ecology

At the beginning of Advent, Pope Francis called for a Year of Mercy.  As part of this year of focusing on the mercifulness of God, all people were invited to give special emphasis to the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy, which are (Corporal) feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, shelter the homeless, visit the sick, visit the prisoners, bury the dead, give alms to the poor, (Spiritual) counsel the doubtful, instruct the ignorant, admonish the sinner, comfort the sorrowful, forgive injuries, bearing wrongs patiently, and pray for the living and the dead.  One of the central Biblical images of the Corporal Works of Mercy is found in the Gospel of Matthew.  In this passage, Matthew presents a scene of final judgement in which those judged worthy of eternal glory are those who perform basic works of mercy and love. “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit upon his glorious … Continue reading →

Earth Day and Catholicism: What Is A Christian To Do?

Sacred Space Astronomy avatarPosted on April 19, 2017 by Fr. James KurzynskiMay 16, 2017
This entry is part of 27 in the series Integral Ecology

So, how are you going to celebrate Earth Day? If you were to ask me this question about twenty years ago, you probably would have received a dumbfounded look with the simple response, “Why would I celebrate Earth Day?” Like many Americans, I had a rather suspicious attitude toward such celebrations, thinking of them as merely days of political statements and protests against anyone who didn’t embrace a 100% “Green” lifestyle. As a devout Catholic, I also struggled with expressions of what I would call an Environmental Spiritualism, treating the Earth as if it were God or another type of deity. In short, Earth Day was not high on my priority list. In time, however, my attitude began to change toward Earth Day. The beginning of the change occurred when I was in college and started to delve into Catholic Social Teaching (CST). I was surprised to discover that one of the seven themes of CST put forward in the Compendium … Continue reading →
