Resumen
ARENAS, Sandra y DE LA CERDA, Paula. Reimagining Laity from Manuel Larrain’s Pastoral Theology. Theol. Xave. [online]. 2017, vol.67, n.184, pp.285-308. ISSN 0120-3649. https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.tx67-184.rltpml.
“What specifically characterizes the laity is its secular nature”. This conciliar postulate has strongly resonated within the theological and pastoral thought of the Chilean Bishop Manuel Larrain. He is one of the greatest contributors to the development of a Theology of the Laity that goes far beyond any ecclesiocentric paradigm. Two preconciliar theologies, the Theology of Earthly Realities and the Theology of History affected transversally Larrain’s conciliar contribution on these matters. This article shows how a positive Theology of the Laity requires a renovated ecclesiological model and a positive Theology of History. From several archival sources, the interconnection between the three theologies which are at stake will be reviewed from the perspective of Larrain’s thought during the conciliar period, in order to explore their potentiality in the current ecclesial agenda.
