Laying down the legacy of Ignacio Ellacuría as a criterion for updating Latin-American pedagogical and ecclesial practice implies examining its meaning according to the historical and intellectual dimension that characterizes the author’s life and martyrdom, as well as the historical-conceptual description of the latter. Based on a correlational study, the research is developed from a qualitative approach, from a hermeneutical perspective and according to the documentary-research method. The paper states that the legacy under discussion offers the possibility of updating the return to the anthropological dimension of both the pedagogical and ecclesial agents, rather than a potential conceptual resignification. The impetus of sentient intelligence described by the author, and corroborated in both his historical and intellectual practice, is the aspect that sets the conditions required to account for a re-shaping of pedagogical and ecclesial work in Latin America, which, according to its critical-liberating and emancipatory nature, finds the intellectual, ethical and progressive criteria that underlies Ellacuría's legacy as an indispensable condition to comprehend the historical reality of its structural-dynamic form, with a view to deploying better ways of being therein in, which are articulated in the work of the educational and ecclesial communities lead by their protagonists.

Keywords : Ignacio Ellacuría; sentient intelligence; praxis; latin-american pedagogy; latin-american church.
