The thesis deals with the theme of secrets as itself and how it is related to the church. Its main issue if is it a church that creates mystery, or whether the mystery is creates church. Furthermore, the work seeks to examine the veracity of statements II. Vatican concilium, which identify the Church as sacrament, that mean the secret. The work examines the main approaches to the mystery and the language they speak about him. While access to the mystery, which has Gnostic character and is well characterized and defined conceptually, it can be seen that the designation anit-gnostic mystery of missing a simple term. Work and offers use of the term exotheric, which is contrary to esoteric and further work highlights the typical character and timbre of this exotheric mystery. The work also aligns with the mystery as objective scientific phenomenon and examines whether the other sciences (mathematics or astronomy) may be encountered exoteric and objective mystery. Investigate the findings are eventually applied to the discourse on the Church, which shows that if the church was not defined as secret, it would be reduced to mere human community and vice versa, if the Church was reduced only as a community insider secrets, it would be just another gnostic sect.

[pt] Além das definições que do homem fazem as diversas disciplinas da ciência, se descobre que, antes de tudo, o ser humano é um homo symbolicus e homo festivus ou ludens. Na esfera celebrativa religiosa, o homem festeja mediante uma anamneses os momentos significativos do passado, em um kairós, que não é cronológico, os acontecimentos do presente e em uma perspectiva escatológica os desejos e anelos do futuro. Estas celebrações, por sua carga subjetiva e em alguns casos de mistério, são impossíveis de realizar sem o recurso aos símbolos. Assim surgem no mundo do cristianismo os sacramentos. Este trabalho de dissertação tem como finalidade apontar a importância de articular o vivido cotidianamente com o celebrado sacramentalmente e, no caso do cristianismo, a exigência à referência da pessoa de Jesus de Nazareth e ao projeto do reino por parte de quem celebra os sacramentos. A partir desta exigência evangélica, se descobre a crise sacramental experimentada na América Latina e que trato de expor neste trabalho. Referenciados pelo Concilio Vaticano II, especificamente pelos documentos da constituição dogmática Lumen Gentium sobre a igreja, a constituição Sacrosanctum Concilium sobre a sagrada liturgia, e a constituição pastoral Gaudium et spes sobre a igreja e o mundo de hoje, apresento a importância de resgatar a dimensão da graça salvífica de Deus para com os homens manifestada nos sacramentos e celebrados liturgicamente na assembleia. Este trabalho se subscreve no âmbito da antropologia sacramental assim como da teologia dos sacramentos reunindo elementos de eclesiologia e liturgia apresentando aos sacramentos como o lugar mistérico desde onde se revela e celebra a graça do desígnio divino de salvação de Deus para com a humanidade. / [en] In addition to the definitions of man do the various disciplines of science, we find that, above all, the human being is a homo festivus, symbolicus or ludens. In the religious sphere of celebration, the man celebrated by anamnesis the significant moments of the past; a kairos, that is not chronological, the events of the present and, in an eschatological perspective, the wishes and desires of the future. These celebrations, by their subjective and sometimes mysterious cargo, are impossible to achieve without the use of symbols. So arise in the world of Christianity the sacraments. This dissertation work aims to point the importance of articulating the lived daily with the celebrated sacramentally and in the case of Christianity, the requirement for the reference person of Jesus of Nazareth and the project of the kingdom by those who celebrate sacraments. From this gospel demand, experienced sacramental crisis in Latin America is found and I try to show in this paper. Referenced by Vatican II, specifically documents the dogmatic constitution Lumen Gentium on the church, the constitution Sacrosanctum Concilium on the sacred liturgy, and pastoral constitution Gaudium et Spes on the church and the world today, I present the importance of rescuing the size of the saving grace of God to men manifested in the sacraments and celebrated liturgically in the assembly. This work is signed in the field of sacramental anthropology and theology of the sacraments gathering elements ecclesiology and liturgy featuring the sacraments as the oracular place where he reveals and celebrates the grace of the divine plan of salvation of God for humanity. / [es] Amén de las definiciones que del hombre hacen las diversas disciplinas de la ciencia, descubrimos que, ante todo, el ser humano es un homo symbolicus y homo festivus o ludens.
