Apuestas pedagógicas de las conferencias generales del Episcopado Latinoamericano y del Caribe en el marco del posconcilio: informe de avance de investigación

Abstract

The present research project asks about the pedagogical bets present in the work and the projection of the General Conferences of CELAM after Second Vatican Council, since thanks to that contributions, regarding the relation of the Church with the world, represents a paradigm shift that favors a complementarity, and understands the different fields of human action as a theological place, with which it has to dialogue and whose challenges are its own. With this presupposition, the Latin American Church assumes, as part of its pastoral purpose, a series of challenges that imply a particular encounter with the world and the needs of the Latin contexts, so that each of the Conferences seeks the approach to a pastoral proposal that responds effectively to the social, cultural, political, economic, religious and thinking movements that emerge in the region. In fact, the present research aims to associate these pedagogical bets that underlie the General Conferences of CELAM with the pedagogical thought movements that have emerged in Latin America, under the scheme of a praxis understood as a liberating response to the poverty and oppression patterns characteristic of our societies as part of the pastoral interpretation and theological reading that has made this particular Church throughout its history.
