Abstract

ECHEVERRI, Alberto. At least, a breath of fresh air. Contribution to a relecture about peace and religious liberty from the encyclical Pacem in terris. Franciscanum [online]. 2014, vol.56, n.162, pp.133-159. ISSN 0120-1468.

In the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of the Pacem in terris of John XXIII, contemporary to the beginning of the II Vatican Council, the text makes emphasis on the interrelationship between peace and religious liberty as a result of the opening allowed by the encyclical that was determinant to overcome the tolerance attitude in religious issues that was promoted by the Roman Catholic Church in the last century. The conciliation assembly highlights the contributions made by two specific documents: the religious Liberty Decree and the Declaration regarding non-Christian religions. The assembly also suggests some lines to reflect about religious liberty in a discussion among diverse religious organizations.

Keywords : Council; dialogue; peace; religious liberty; tolerance.
