Resumen
The article contains a comparison of the way of formulating the challenges posed by and facing Christian theological anthropology in the Catholic approach of Pope Francis in Laudato si’, as well as documents that impose on the program of the World Council of Churches: Justice, peace and integrity of creation. The diagnosed challenges relate primarily to the protection of human life from direct danger and in a wider scope of protection of the natural environment as necessary to sustain life, including human life on Earth. Many of the threats humanity faces today have their source in distorting the understanding of man as a creature of God endowed with inalienable dignity, which results in his inborn rights. To overcome the reductionist vision of a man, an “anthropological conversion” is needed. The way of overcoming the threats is also indicated by the concept of the “economy of life” developed in the WCC documents.
