Abstract

In historical key, we analyse the San Francis image associated with ecological themes. The saint leverages a series of social and environmental demands of modern society, while "rescues" practices and spirituality connected to tradition. For this, we turn to Catholic publications related to the environment, as well as Brazilian authors and Fraternity Campaign of 1979. Associating the saint with the theme requires correlate social and ecological movements by interpreting a way of being Franciscan in the Church and in the context of Liberation Theology.
