CLEVELAND (CNS) – **Shifting demographics within the Catholic Church are allowing new voices to emerge to help guide the development of Catholic theology, several theologians said during the 65th annual convention of the Catholic Theological Society of America.
The voices shaping theology include those of women and African, Latin and Asian cultures, providing for a deeper understanding of what the Scriptures can mean to a church that has been dominated by European theological interpretations for centuries.**catholicnews.com/data/stories/cns/1002467.htm
This Catholic Theological Society of America is linked to the theology espoused by Karl Rahner, thus the imminent nature of the theological concerns. It seems like the farther afield from St. Thomas Aquinas one gets, the more need of an encyclical there is to keep you form going off the reservation. Thomism has several times been touted by the Magisterium as the preeminent Catholic philosophy and theological system, defending supernatural grace, virtue, and transcendence, from an incursion of immanent, pantheistic theology. Seems now that theology is enhanced by those who study it, not by the truth it points to.
