This book addresses the crisis of sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic Church in Latin America, the region of the world with the highest percentage of Catholics. Bringing together research from across the continent, it demonstrates that abuse within the Church is indeed a global phenomenon, though abuses have taken different forms according to varying sociocultural contexts. With attention to abuses committed against children, women and vulnerable adults – by both men and women – within the settings of parishes, new religious movements and international religious organizations, it also raises questions of justice, asking how to assess the suffering of victims, how to deal with abusers and how to prevent abuses. It will therefore be of interest to scholars of religious studies, sociology, Latin American studies, criminology, theology, and religious leaders with interests in the abuses and scandals that have been revealed in the worldwide Church.
Reforming the Church analyses ministries, participatory structures (e.g., pastoral councils, synods, etc.), pastoral institutions (e.g., parishes, etc.), the role of the laity and especially women and couples in the Church, the formation programs in seminaries and the decision-making and decision-taking models, among other topics where concrete reforms are needed. The book covers six perspectives/parts: The synodal form of church; scripture and tradition—the consensus ecclesiae; pathways to renewed ministries; coresponsibility versus clericalism; reforming structures; and the future—an ongoing synodal spirituality.
Thirty essays presented at a symposium that deals with reform of the church and reforms in the church, according to the vision of Pope Francis.

Nuestras reflexiones se sitúan en esta corriente latinoamericana, buscan fundamentar aún más y desarrollar ulteriormente algunos de los principales logros de esta teología contextuada, su valoración teológica de la experiencia humana y de los acontecimientos históricos, su servicio a los pobres y a las víctimas, su decidida toma de partido por la justicia y la liberación, los derechos humanos y, últimamente, el clamor de la tierra.
This volume is the fruit of a "theological laboratory" initiated by the then-Centre for Child Protection and the Catholic Theological Ethics in the World Church (CTEWC) called "Doing Theology in the Face of Sexual Abuse." Eventually those from the laboratory engaged those meeting for two years via "virtual tables," due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the end, twenty-six scholars offer insights on the crisis itself and pathways for moving forward. There is a certain urgency about this volume, which is not often reflected in works of theology or theological ethics. The sheer scale of the undermining of human dignity through sexual abuse that has occurred within the church asks questions of these disciplines and scholars within them: To what extent have we been blind to these issues? Why have our efforts in theology and theological ethics been so slow to wrestle with this crisis? How are theology and theological ethics implicated in the crisis? And how might the disciplines be constructive in responding? In this volume, we encounter a diverse range of scholars from all around the world wrestling with these and other questions.
Explores the theological dimension of Catholic social teaching by showing how magisterial documents dealing with social issues are a path to enter into the mystery of the Christian God and to produce “theo-logy”: a reasoned discourse about the divine.

En 1965, al finalizar el Concilio Vaticano II, Monseñor Manuel Larraín expresó que aquello que había vivido la asamblea conciliar era impresionante, pero que si en América Latina no estábamos atentos a nuestros propios signos de los tiempos, el Concilio pasaría al lado de nuestra Iglesia. Asumir esta tarea es la misión que se ha dado nuestro Centro Teológico y que acometemos en este libro. Los aportes que aquí ofrecemos a esta teología de la historia, posconciliar y latinoamericana, son fundamentalmente de método teológico.
