In recent years, the term "human ecology" has become a shibboleth within the Catholic Social Doctrine (CSD). In magisterial jargon, it describes a broader understanding of ecological issues, as well as a specific approach to environmental protection. In the paper, the meanings of this term from the perspectives of the last three popes (St. John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis) are elucidated. The CSD is committed to such an approach to the environment which is based on the principles of ecological interdependence between terrestrial nature and human societies. Moreover, the CSD strongly emphasizes not only the vertical relationship between nature and humans, or human communities amongst themselves but also the horizontal relationship of the individual towards her/his Creator, i.e. God. Such an anthropocentrism is then rather weak when compared to one that completely subordinates nature to the total autonomy of man.

Ecological issues constitute an important and constantly developed subject in the contemporary teaching of the Church as well as theological reflection. What is significant, it is not an exclusivist activity but is characterised by great openness towards the achievements of other sciences engaged in ecological issues. It particularly strongly emphasises the moral and axiological dimension of human activeness and calls for restraining the still prevailing temptation to understand economic and technological development or progress in isolation from other areas that make up human existence. Worth noting is the importance of awakening man’s responsibility for the good of the created world that God entrusted to him. Avoiding anthropocentrism on one hand and specific biolatry on the other show that the idea of primacy of the human person is sensible when it is combined with the awareness of man’s task to perpetuate and build common good encompassing not only humankind but all creation.
