El avance del ecumenismo en algunas obras de Walter Kasper con relación al diálogo con las iglesias orientales y evangélica luterana

Abstract

The dialogue constitutes one of the main concerns of the Church since the Second Vatican Council was held, since it has been verified that when there is no dialogue, war and therefore death occurs. The claim of Jesus is precisely life in abundance and not a life overshadowed by injustice and cruelty of non-dialogue. The main purpose of the writing is to describe the theological contribution to the ecumenical dialogue in relation to the Eastern Churches and the evangelical lutheran through the ecumenical works (path towards Christian unity, reaping the fruits and unity in Jesus Christ) by Walter Kasper, the One way of approaching the texts is through the method of hermeneutics of texts, making the proper interpretation bearing in mind the cultural context and the author's intention; Because W. Kasper is a living theologian, he only proposes to research his texts published to date 2021. In addition, he emphasizes topics of theology such as: soteriology, ecclesiology and eschatology. From the hermeneutical interpretive analysis of Kasper's texts, an ecumenical approach is proposed through ecumenical openness that includes reconciled diversity and it is at the same time supported by the spiritual ecumenism that must exist between the Church of Rome with the Eastern Church and the evangelical lutheran leaving that base to have the ability to continue the dialogue and not on the contrary that it falls into the inability to dialogue and therefore into constant fratricide as the story has narrated.
