Pope Francis calls for the transformation of theology!

Vatikanstadt, Italien - Vatican city, 09.12.2024-Pope Francis today received around 500 theologians and theologians from all over the world to celebrate the opening of a two-day conference at the papal Lateran university. He asked for more humility and comprehensibility in theology and metaphorically explained: "Light brings things out of the dark." In his speech, he emphasized that theology in friendship with Christ was rooted and the voices of women were indispensable. A "purely male theology" is incomplete and a long way is necessary to strengthen equality and diversity in the theological discussion. This event under the title "The Future of Theology. Inheritance and Visions", not only gathered theologians but also experts from related disciplines, with the Austrian theologian Isabella Guanzini among the speakers, such as Kap reported.

appeal to a 'courageous cultural revolution'

In the course of this conference, the Pope also published its new Motu Proprio entitled "Ad theologia Promovendam", which updates the statutes of the Pontifical Academy of Theology. Here Francis calls for a "courageous cultural revolution" within theology to meet the challenges of the modern world. He is committed to a synodal and missionary church and emphasizes that theologians actively turn to the world and have to deal with their complex problems and opportunities. The Pope calls on to take new ways of knowledge and network interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary in order to convey the truths of faith in modern contexts. This appeal promotes the dialogue between different knowledge traditions, which is of central importance for the future theology, such as reported.
