The Pneumatological Christocentrism Inherent in the Formulation “Participated Mediations” Regarding Religions: its Theological Meaning and Contribution to the Theology of Religions

ABSTRACT

The pneumatological perspective applied to Christology, which reflects on the meaning of religions in a history of salvation whose only mediator is Jesus Christ, favors the recognition, in theology and by the ecclesiastical Magisterium, that the Mystery of Christ is present in religions, causing a path of overcoming the definition of religions as evangelical preparation in terms of mere stages in anticipation of the promulgation of the Gospel. All of this is summarized in the formulation “participated mediations”, which theologically defines the religions of the world, which requires the study of the Christocentric approach during the Second Vatican Council on religions, the pneumatological increment of later theology, the relationship of the plurality of religions with the Catholic Church and the possibility of a theology of religions that thinks about religious alterity in a pneumatological perspective.
