This article critically examines the notion Divinity of dissidence within the framework of contemporary Christian theology, based on a dialogue between queer/cuir theology and Latin American liberation theology. Far from understanding this notion as an affirmation of identity or as an immediate ontological category, it is proposed as a critical and pneumatological hermeneutical category, aimed at highlighting the normative limits of classical theological anthropology. Through a situated theological hermeneutics, the work analyzes the potential of this category to reconfigure certain central questions of systematic theology, while pointing out the risks of essentializing and absolutizing the dissident experience. The article concludes that the Divinity of dissidence can operate as a fruitful interpretive key for thinking about God's action in contexts of exclusion.
The theological dialogue regarding the Eucharist between Catholics, Lutherans, and Anglicans has evolved from historical conflict toward significant doctrinal rapprochement. Ecumenical efforts, notably the 1978 document The Lord’s Supper, have bridged gaps concerning the Mass as a memorial and sacrifice. While Martin Luther rejected transubstantiation as a “scholastic” and “unbiblical” concept ”’preferring consubstantiation, where Christ is present “in, with, and under” the bread and wine”’ modern dialogues show a greater consensus. Catholics have embraced the critique of past excesses, while Lutherans increasingly view the Eucharist as an offering of Christ and the Church. Anglicanism historically rejected transubstantiation in the 39 Articles, often oscillating between metabolic and symbolic views. However, the ARCIC dialogues since 1966 have affirmed a common faith in the real presence, regardless of individual belief. Contemporary thinkers like Catherine Pickstock argue for a “Eucharistic skepticism” that unites the symbolic and ontological, moving beyond the simple presence-absence dichotomy.
El presente estudio pretende dilucidar el sentido teológico de la recepción del incarnatus est de Nicea por el Credo de Constantinopla en las fuentes escritas de Arnoldo Janssen. Investiga entonces en qué medida la tendencia de completar el original niceno por su explicitación constantinopolitana de parte del fundador de la Societas Verbi Divini responde a la intención de anclar la índole propia de sus fundaciones svd/ssps en la Missio Spiritus Sancti, A 30/59, en la cual participan sus misioneros, repensada hoy como Missio Dei.
The article examines the biblical foundations of Thomas Aquinas’s doctrine of predestination, showing that his approach cannot be reduced to a purely philosophical or speculative framework. Aquinas’s theology of predestination is deeply rooted in Scripture, particularly in Pauline texts such as Romans 8–9 and Ephesians 1, and is inseparable from Christology and the doctrine of grace. By analyzing his biblical commentaries, the study demonstrates that predestination in Aquinas is not primarily about divine arbitrariness but about the gratuity of God’s love and its Christocentric realization. The novelty of this contribution lies in highlighting how biblical Aquinas’s notion of predestination truly reconfigures debates often detached from Scripture.
