“…At first glance, it appears that monasteries have a special relationship with their natural environment. Danièle Hervieu-Léger identifies an elective affinity between ecologism and religious eschatology (Hervieu-Léger 1982). "The concept of Ecologism starts from the position that the non-human world is worthy of moral consideration and that this should be taken into account in the ordering of social, economic and political systems" (Baxter 1999).…”

Monasteries, especially Benedictine monasteries, have developed a close relationship with nature based on a respect for creation and a goal of self-sufficiency. There seems to be an elective affinity between monasticism and ecologism. Since the second half of the 20th century, monasteries have been engaging in ecological practices, and in many cases have been pioneers in these practices in their region. How can the role of monasteries in ecology be explained? To what extent is the ecology practiced by monasteries different from that of society? And what developments can we observe in this field over the last 20 years? After presenting the background of the elective affinity between monasticism and ecologism, I will explore the practices that monastics put in place to act sustainably for the protection of the environment. The last part of the paper deals with the shift from respect for creation to ecologism in the vocabulary monastics use today and to what extent we can speak of a charismatic ecologism. This article is based on field inquiries conducted in monastic communities in six countries in Europe and four countries in Africa between 2004 and 2019.

Depuis quelques années, un catastrophisme renouvelé, centré sur la notion d’« effondrement », gagne du terrain parmi les discours consacrés à la question écologique. En nous appuyant essentiellement sur le volet numérique d’une enquête en cours sur les formes collectives hésitantes qui se constituent autour de la conviction catastrophiste, nous nuancerons les inquiétudes sur son caractère dépolitisant, en montrant qu’elle pousse à chercher des appuis collectifs pour surmonter l’impuissance et l’isolement, et pour soutenir des parcours d’autodidaxie astreignants.
