Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | "The continent of Africa contains 236 million Catholics, with a large number of them practicing. This number is almost twenty percent of Catholics worldwide. Moreover, twelve percent of the world's Catholic priests serve in Africa, and thirteen percent of the world's bishops. Many priests serving in the United States and Europe are of African origin, as well. African Catholicism is thus of tremendous importance for Catholicism today and for the future of the Catholic Church. The present book is a sequel to our 2021 edited volume, Joseph Ratzinger and the Future of African Theology. In that volume, which arose from a 2019 conference held at Mundelein Seminary, we gathered African Catholic theologians, alongside some non-Africans, to reflect upon what contributions a dialogue between the theology of Joseph Ratzinger/Pope Benedict XVI and African theological perspectives might make both to the future of African theology and to the future of the theology of the Catholic Church as a whole. It became clear that, unsurprisingly, African theologians have been thinking about and engaging with Ratzinger's theology in important ways, and they have also been absorbing and responding to the magisterial writings of the pontificate of Benedict XVI. Likewise, non-African theologians have been benefiting from the work of African theologians."-- |
