Título: Por uma igreja em saída, misericordiosa e sinodal: reflexões sobre o legado teológico-pastoral do papa francisco Abstract: Inspired by the theological and pastoral legacy of Pope Francis, this text investigates the fun damental axes that marked his pontificate—the Church that goes forth, mercy, and synodality— understood as expressions of a permanent process of ecclesial conversion and reform, in pro found fidelity to the Second Vatican Council. Through bibliographical research, and drawing on the magisterium of Francis and contemporary authors who engage with conciliar ecclesiology, the study analyzes how these axes constitute an ecclesiological paradigm capable of reconfiguring mentalities, structures, and practices of the Church, both ad intra and ad extra, in response to the challenges of the contemporary world. The research shows that the proposal of a missionary, dialogical, synodal, and merciful Church does not represent a rupture with Tradition, but rather its creative and pastoral aggiornamento, moved by the Holy Spirit and attentive to the “signs of the times.” At the same time, it addresses the tensions, resistances, and polarizations that mark the reception of the Second Vatican Council and of the pontificate of Pope Francis, especially in the face of rigid and fundamentalist attitudes that hinder the communication of the core of the Gospel. Indeed, the credibility of the Church in the present and in the future depends on its capacity to embrace, in a synodal manner, the path of listening, dialogue, and mercy, while remaining faithful to the conciliar spirit and to the Gospel of life in abundance. The study acknowledges its limits, but presents itself as an open and provocative contribution to further reflections and pastoral practices, reaffirming the desire for a Church ever more outgoing, merciful, and synodal, as a permanent horizon of the ecclesial mission Tipo: Dissertação

Título: O ministério presbiteral na eclesiologia conciliar: implicações e proposições para o compromisso comunitário compartilhado Abstract: This research investigates the understanding of presbyteral ministry in light of the ecclesiology of the Second Vatican Council and its magisterial reception, with particular attention to the implications for community life and ecclesial co-responsibility. The study is justified by the observation that twentieth-century ecclesiological reflection, in retrieving the category of People of God, awakened the ministerial question, although post-conciliar reception has oscillated between the proposed renewal and the resurgence of models that reduce the presbyterate to a merely cultic function. The central hypothesis holds that the conciliar ecclesiological notions - the Church as People of God, communion, and mission - ground the transition from isolated clerical models to a shared communal commitment with non-ordained ministries. The methodology adopted is bibliographic and analytical-interpretive, guided by three interpretive axes (communion, sacerdotalization, and clericalization) and structured in four stages: the biblical foundation of ministeriality; the historical development of the presbyterate, marked by the transition from communal forms to hierarchical-sacral configurations; the conciliar theology of ministry, analyzed in light of Lumen Gentium and the decree Presbyterorum Ordinis; and, finally, post-conciliar developments and contemporary challenges. The findings indicate that the renewal of presbyteral ministry requires an ecclesiological conversion engaging the entire community in an awareness of baptismal dignity and missionary co-responsibility. The study proposes the category of “shared communal commitment”, in light of synodality, as a theological-pastoral horizon, expressed in the metaphor of the presbyter as “orchestra conductor”: one who, together with the community, follows the same score, the Word of God Tipo: Tese

Título: Arte de Claudio Pastro na Capela do Batismo da Basílica de Aparecida em diálogo com o pensamento de Xavier Zubiri Abstract: This dissertation investigates the Baptismal Chapel of the National Basilica of Aparecida as a paradigmatic expression of post-conciliar sacred art, employing Xavier Zubiri’s philosophy of Sentient Intelligence as its hermeneutical framework. Situated within the field of Liturgical Theology and engaging aesthetic, philosophical, and iconographic foundations, the study seeks to demonstrate how the work of Cláudio Pastro—conceived according to the principles of Sacrosanctum Concilium—constitutes a space in which form, matter, and symbolism converge for the mystagogical actualization of the Paschal Mystery. Based on a systematic review of specialized literature, documentary analysis, and direct observation of the liturgical space, the research examines the correlation between the perceptual structure proposed by Zubiri—where sensing and intellection function as a single act of apprehending reality—and Pastro’s aesthetic intentionality, which privileges symbols of high theological density oriented toward the conscious and active participation of the faithful. The study demonstrates that the Baptismal Chapel operates as a theological locus in which beauty, understood as an objective mediation of the real, fosters an integral liturgical experience and sustains the catechetical-mystagogical function proper to sacred art. It concludes that the conjunction between Pastro’s theological aesthetics and the Zubirian epistemological framework offers a significant contribution to the deepening of liturgical sensibility and to the development of theoretical criteria applicable to the analysis and creation of contemporary celebratory spaces Tipo: Tese

Título: Catequese e liturgia: diálogo com a mistagogia de Cirilo de Jerusalém Abstract: This work analyzes the relationship between catechesis and liturgy, highlighting its experiential dimension and catechumenal inspiration based on patristic tradition, especially the Catecheses of Cyril of Jerusalem. The Cyrillian method thus emerges as a fruitful reference for the renewal of contemporary catechesis. The research initially adopts a bibliographic approach aimed at identifying, in Cyril's texts, the structuring elements of Christian initiation in the early centuries, marked by the profound integration between Kerygma, experience of the Word, participation in rites, and community life. This articulation gave catechesis an integral and mystagogical dimension, capable of progressively leading catechumens to the Paschal Mystery. In a second moment, the historical decline of the catechumenate and the progressive separation between catechesis and liturgy are examined, especially from the Middle Ages onwards, a process that resulted in practices centered on the deductive teaching of doctrine, the memorization of content, and the loss of the experiential and celebratory dimension of faith. Finally, the biblical, liturgical, and catechetical renewal movements of the 20th century, driven by the Second Vatican Council and subsequent Magisterium, are analyzed. These movements proposed a return to patristic sources and reaffirmed the centrality of liturgy as the source and summit of Christian life. It can be concluded that the Cyrillian method allows us to identify fundamental elements for the renewal of current catechesis. The organic connection between catechesis and liturgy, supported by mystagogical pedagogy, constitutes a fruitful path, based on catechumenal inspiration, to lead catechumens and catechumens to a living participation in the Paschal Mystery, favoring the formation of mature, conscious, and committed Christians, especially in the face of contemporary challenges marked by secularization and religious pluralism Tipo: Dissertação
