| Summary: | Theological pluralism is not new. It is warranted by the Bible. Already in the New Testament the theology of Paul is not that of John, nor is that of Matthew that of Mark or Luke. In the Middle Ages several theological "schools" coexisted. A narrowing down of theological thought happened with the confessional controversies of the 16th century, and later in opposition to the rationalism of the Enlightenment. The 19th century has known the supremacy of "Roman theology". Vatican II bequeated to the Church rich documents and showed concern for, and openness towards the diverse cultures. Thus the Council initiated a movement of theological creativity. On the other hand, through critical reflection the awareness has grown that theology is always situated. It is marked by the era and the culture in which it is elaborated, while at the same time being bound to the faith of the Church of all times, one and catholic. Theology must therefore build itself up in dialogue: dialogue between faith and the cultural contexts in which faith seeks to express itself; dialogue also between persons with diverse functions within the Church and who hold different responsibilities for her mission. Pluralism in theology cannot be conceived independently of a true concern for the unity of faith. But it calls for rethinking the ways of fostering that unity, among which trust and charity must always be present. |
