Summary: | The Second Vatican Council showed the importance of discerning the “signs of the times” to define the Christian mission in the world, and to exercise its own theological work. As we celebrate, in 2015, the 50th anniversary of the Second Vatican Council and of the Gravissimum educationis declaration, as well as the 25th anniversary of Ex corde Ecclesiae Apostolic Constitution, an important task falls upon fundamental theology, i.e.: how to discern and redefine the mission of the Catholic universities at the core of new human situations? In the present reflection, as a hypothesis, I propose three steps for theological discernment, which can only be carried out in each academic community. First, to identify some major callings in the paradoxical reality which characterizes current times. Second, to redefine the mission of a Catholic university in light of a reinterpretation of the Ex corde Ecclesiae apostolic constitution. Third, to reaffirm the centrality of the Gospel which is the source of faith and theology, as the ultimate criterion of all discernimentas. Finally, as an open conclusion, we highlight some fundamental points for the mission of a Catholic university in contemporaneity. |

Ao celebrarmos, em 2015, o cinquentenário do concílio Vaticano II e da declaração Gravissimum educationis, bem como o vigésimo quinto aniversário da Constituição Apostólica Ex corde Ecclesiae, uma tarefa importante recai sobre a teologia fundamental, a saber: como discernir e redefinir a missão das universidades católicas no seio das novas situações humanas? Na presente reflexão, a título de exercício, proponho três passos para um discernimento teológico, que só pode ser feito por cada comunidade acadêmica: primeiro, identificar alguns grandes apelos na realidade paradoxal que caracteriza o tempo atual; segundo, redefinir a missão própria de uma universidade católica à luz de uma releitura da constituição apostólica Ex corde Ecclesiae; terceiro, a partir da perspectiva lançada pelo concílio, reafirmar a centralidade do Evangelho, fonte da fé e da teologia, como critério último de todo discernimento. E, à guisa de conclusão aberta, destacaremos alguns pontos fundamentais para a missão de uma universidade católica na contemporaneidade.Editora PUC Minas2015-12-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/horizonte/article/view/P.2175-5841.2015v13n40p211510.5752/P.2175-5841.2015v13n40p2115HORIZONTE - Revista de Estudos de Teologia e Ciências da Religião; vol. 13, n. 40, out./dez. 2015 - Dossiê: Desafios Teológicos do Pluralismo Religioso; 2115-2136HORIZONTE - Journal of Studies in Theology and Religious Sciences; vol. 13, n. 40, out./dez. 2015 - Dossiê: Desafios Teológicos do Pluralismo Religioso; 2115-21362175-5841reponame:Horizonte - Revista de Estudos de Teologia e Ciências da Religiãoinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais (PUC Minas)instacron:PUC_MINSporhttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/horizonte/article/view/P.2175-5841.2015v13n40p2115/9043Copyright (c) 2015 Horizonteinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRubens, Pedro2016-10-10T18:12:08Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/10626Revistahttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/horizonteONGhttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/horizonte/oaihorizonte.pucminas@gmail.com2175-58411679-9615opendoar:2016-10-10T18:12:08Horizonte - Revista de Estudos de Teologia e Ciências da Religião - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais (PUC Minas)false |
