Today's diversity in the society is increasingly bringing humanity to pluralism, understood as a new way of reading, interpreting and living in this new reality. The challenges to the Christian faith are innumerable. However, three challenges stand out: cultural, religious and social. In face of them, the Church, through the category of Catholicity, understood as totality, which grounds its identity and universality, intends to be a sign of communion and hope. In front of cultural pluralism and globalization, Christian faith must recognize its catholicity based on religious identity, highlighting what is essential and what is formal in its identity. That allows being open to a dialogue with cultures. In front of religious and social pluralism, the Church, in the exercise of its mission, must open itself to dialogue and hospitality with the Christian Churches, with the various religions, in a perspective of an "outgoing" Church, going to the existential peripheries, leading to the Joy of the Gospel to all people. / A presente disserta??o de mestrado: A Catolicidade da Igreja ? Luz da Evangelii Gaudium e os Desafios da Sociedade Plural, pretende abordar a relev?ncia da rela??o positiva da Igreja, entendida a partir da sua catolicidade, com a sociedade cada vez mais diversificada, levando em conta as contribui??es da Exorta??o Apost?lica Evangelii Gaudium, do Papa Francisco. A sociedade diversificada atual est? levando cada vez mais a humanidade ao pluralismo, compreendido como uma nova forma de ler, interpretar e viver nesta nova realidade. Os desafios para a f? crist? s?o in?meros. Todavia, tr?s desafios ganham destaque: o cultural, o religioso e o social. Frente a eles a Igreja, atrav?s da categoria da catolicidade, entendida como totalidade, que tem como fundamento a identidade e como consequ?ncia a universalidade, pretende ser um sinal de comunh?o e esperan?a. Diante do pluralismo cultural e da globaliza??o, a f? crist? precisa reconhecer a sua catolicidade a partir da identidade religiosa, destacando o que ? essencial e o que ? formal nesta identidade e abrir-se a um di?logo com as culturas. Diante do pluralismo religioso e social, a Igreja no exerc?cio de sua miss?o, precisa abrir-se ao di?logo e ? hospitalidade com as Igrejas crist?s, com as diversas religi?es, numa perspectiva de Igreja ?em sa?da?, indo ?s periferias existenciais, levando a Alegria do Evangelho a todas as pessoas.
