The second part explores at length the origin and nature of these relational ruptures in terms of seven ecological sins. Kureethadam presents ecological sin as the rupture of our fundamental and constitutive relationships with God, with our brothers and sisters, and with Mother Earth. The third part of the book explores how the rupture of basic relationships caused by ecological sin can be repaired through a transformative journey of healing by following the path of ecological conversion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin;\"\u003eJoshtrom Kureethadam \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin;\"\u003eis full professor (Chair of Philosophy of Science) and director of the Institute of Social and Political Sciences in the Faculty of Philosophy at the Salesian Pontifical University in Rome.\u003cspan style=\"color: #222222;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eKureethadam served as the Coordinator of the Sector of “Ecology \u0026amp; Creation” at the Vatican Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development from 2017-2023 and continues to assist the efforts of the global Church in responding to Pope Francis’ passionate appeal to care for our common home.
