CELAM THEOLOGY CONFERENCE COLOMBIA

Conference puts pope’s call for ‘outgoing theology’ into action

Pope Francis “says that new theology cannot be a dialogue between theologians because that is self-referential, rather it must be an interdisciplinary dialogue,” Emilce Cuda, secretary of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America told Catholic News Service Nov. 27 during a three-day conference in Bogotá on religious expressions in popular culture at the headquarters of the Latin American bishops’ council, known as CELAM.
