O artigo faz uma abordagem da eclesiologia ecumênica, surgida para refletir a dimensão ecumênica da eclesiologia. O autor aborda o tema em cinco passos: a necessidade de uma eclesiologia ecumênica; o ecumenismo como “princípio formal” da eclesiologia; as fontes e o método da eclesiologia ecumênica; concluindo com a análise do tema “autoridade, dom de Deus à Igreja”, em que é abordada a questão da autoridade, do ministério episcopal como serviço à unidade e o ministério petrino como confirmação da unidade

The current globalized world enables countless benefits for humanity, through technological development, communication, exchange between economies, cultures and creeds, the reduction of distances, among other factors. But there is no real access by all people to the resources of this world, or recognition of the value of otherness. Tensions, conflicts and wars mark the current era of globalization, excluding a large portion of humanity from the right to live with freedom, equality and dignity. This article analyzes how the encyclical Fratelli tutti proposes hospitality, citizenship and fraternity as fundamental to overcoming ambiguities and contradictions in a globalized world. The method is a qualitative analysis of the concepts of hospitality, citizenship and fraternity in Fratelli tutti, in relation to similar studies. The conclusion is that it is only on the horizon of fraternity that the existing contradictions in today's humanity can be overcome. For this, the practice of hospitality and citizenship is urgent, giving all people the right to inhabit this world. Thus, hospitality and citizenship are essential for the globalization of solidarity and the construction of a world of fratelli tutti. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article aims to highlight the the importance of the dimensions of decoloniality, plurality and ecumenicity for the process of deepening Latin American theology, in its liberating perspective, considering the development of the critical-liberating potential of religions and spiritualities of the Latin American continent. Using the method of qualitative analysis of the bibliography related to such themes, the study starts from a presentation of the categories of coloniality, plurality and ecumenicity, and then makes a descriptive and summary approach to religious diversity in Latin America and its relationship with sociocultural issues on the continente, with an analysis of the Latin American religious issue in the current context of globalization. Then, from a hermeneutic perspective, it explores the possibilities of a Latin American theology that is decolonial, pluralistic and ecumenical. The research concludes that decoloniality, plurality and ecumenicity are fundamental for the affirmation of the sociocultural and religious identity of Latin American peoples, re-signifying the contents of their faiths and beliefs and making their contextual specificities explicit. This empowers religions on the continent for actions that build social justice, the promotion of human life and the defense of creation and opens new challenges for Latin American theology.

La teología se caracteriza como un conocimiento de la fe contextualizado en los espacios y tiempos en que viven las comunidades de fe, con el propósito de justificar la fe de las comunidades y orientar su experiencia en la interacción con las características socioculturales de cada época. De esta forma, la episteme teológica sigue los cambios que se dan en los tiempos y en los contextos de la comunidad de fe, y estos cambios inciden siempre en la hermenéutica y en las experiencias de fe. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar el momento actual, que por el fin de una era, la modernidad, y la configuración de una nueva, por muchos denominada posmodernidad, cuyas características inciden directamente en la estructura epistémica de la fe cristiana. El método es el análisis cualitativo de la bibliografía, que muestra cómo en el contexto de la posmodernidad no solo se afirma la verdad, sino también el cuestionamiento de si alguna verdad es posible; incluso hay quienes concluyen un vínculo intrínseco entre "posmodernidad" y "posverdad", que señalaría también el hoy como una época de "posreligión". Se concluye que la teología, como narradora de la verdad de la fe, necesita confrontar tales tendencias, buscando recoger su contribución al conocimiento de la fe cristiana. De ahí surgen demandas de cambios en la estructura epistémica de la fe; la sustitución del objeto de la teología; la sensibilidad a nuevas expresiones de apertura a lo trascendente; y nuevas orientaciones que dan nuevo sentido a los temas permanentes de la fe cristiana. De esta manera, la posmodernidad ofrece nuevas posibilidades para la teología de hoy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Affirming the sacraments as symbols of communion raises the question of how to enable this communion to take place between churches that currently celebrate their sacraments separately. Sacramental communion is an ecumenical question. Is it possible for a consensus on the doctrine and celebration of the sacraments to enable churches to recognize each other sacramentally? The purpose of this article is to answer this question by presenting the convergences and consensus that the ecumenical dialogue on the sacraments allows us to reap. The method we use is the qualitative analysis of the bibliography that presents the sacramental theology in an ecumenical perspective. And the results achieved show that a mutual sacramental acceptance requires from the churches a structural reception, in their doctrines and liturgies, of the convergences already reached in the dialogue about the sacraments. As a consequence, they also need a joint effort to re-signify rites, gestures and symbols, as well as remaking the semantic universe of semantic universe of sacramental terminology.
