| Summary: | 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. Die philippinische Bischofskonferenz bezieht seit Jahrzehnten Stellung zu ökologischen Problemen - ist sie im Zuge dessen "dunkelgrün" geworden im Sinne des Umweltphilosophen Bron Taylor? Diese Frage untersucht der Aufsatz anhand der Hirtenbriefe ab 1988 und zeichnet dabei zentrale Entwicklungen im Umweltbewusstsein der Bischöfe nach. |
