| Summary: | The text highlights fundamental nuclei of the thought and pastoral practice of Pope Francis in the light of the thought of Bernard Lonergan. Lived in later periods, both seek to formulate an effective process of thought and action in the present and future of the Church and humanity. The Pontiff speaks often of the importance of conversion and reform in the Church, as a requirement for fulfilling its mission. On this matter, he quotes the Word of God, while stressing also the importance of discerning the signs of the times. It is possible to read this challenge in the light of Bernard Lonergan’s categories of subject, horizon and intentionality. This attentiveness to interiority allows theology to be attentive to the transformations of culture in the contemporary world and to respond to these in an evangelical way. Bernard Lonergan, therefore, can be considered an ally of Pope Francis in activating those «processes of people building» that can transform the Church and society. |
