Esta pesquisa aborda as relações entre dois fenômenos do catolicismo recente, as Comunidades Eclesiais de Base (CEBs) e a Renovação Carismática Católica (RCC) na Diocese de Nova Iguaçu, localizada na região metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro denominada Baixada Fluminense. Nosso olhar buscará observar justamente os pontos em que ocorrem interações, trocas e negociações que possibilitam o convívio entre as CEBs e a RCC em um mesmo espaço eclesial. Destacamos três elementos, a Memória a ser elaborada e difundida socialmente, a noção de Comunidade, a qual será proclamada como instrumento para a construção da pertença eclesial e as Ações Sócio-transformadoras dos diversos Grupos, em especial dos dois movimentos acima destacados, assim como a interpretação que cada um faz dessas ações. Pudemos perceber que a realidade observada apresenta-se mais complexa do que poderia perceber uma análise que acentuasse de forma estrita as tensões ou polarizações. Buscamos apreender tal complexidade a partir dos discursos de membros de cada um desses grupos / This research approaches the relations between two phenomena of the recent catholicism, the Comunidades Eclesiais de Base (CEBs) and Renovação Carismática Católica (RCC) in the Diocese of Nova Iguaçu, located in the region metropolitan of Of the state of Rio de Janeiro called Baixada Fluminense. Our look will search to observe the points exactly where interactions, exchanges and negotiations occur that make possible the conviviality between the CEBs and the RCC in one same eclesial space. We detach three elements, the Memory to be elaborated and spread out socially, the notion of Community, which will be proclaimed as instrument for the construction of belongs eclesial and the Partner-transforming Actions of the diverse Groups, in special of the two movements above detached, as well as the interpretation that each one makes of these actions. We could perceive that the observed reality is presented more complex of what it could perceive an analysis that accented of strict form the tensions or polarizations. We search to apprehend such complexity from the speeches of members of each one of these groups

Thesis advisor: Carlos Mendoza-Álvarez / A lo largo de NuestrAmérica, comunidades eclesiales —algunas dentro y otras al margen de la iglesia católica romana— están creando nuevos rituales para sus celebraciones litúrgicas, ejerciendo una creatividad que se basa en y sobrepasa la interpretación normativa de la teología litúrgica que se ha desarrollado a raíz del Concilio Vaticano II. El presente trabajo explora, por un lado, cómo la recepción de tal teología conciliar por parte del magisterio episcopal latinoamericano y caribeño no ha madurado lo suficiente para atender las necesidades celebrativas de estas comunidades eclesiales y, por otro lado, cómo las comunidades mismas han retomado su propio protagonismo y creatividad litúrgica para celebrar de una manera que motive y alimente su praxis cristiana. A través de un proceso de investigación cualitativa sobre las celebraciones extra-ordinarias de las Comunidades Eclesiales de Base (CEBs) de El Salvador, como ejemplo y referente para la región, concluimos que la teología litúrgica expresada puede considerarse como fiel al Concilio y como desafío para la teología litúrgica normativa. En la primera parte de la tesis, abordamos la reflexión teológica y la enseñanza magisterial episcopal. El primer capítulo compara diferentes líneas teológicas que han influido en la recepción de la teología litúrgica del Concilio Vaticano II en NuestrAmérica, identificando un conjunto de reflexiones de(s)coloniales pendientes de incorporarse más plenamente a la tradición. El segundo capítulo traza la recepción de la teología litúrgica conciliar a lo largo de las cuatro Conferencias Generales posconciliares del Consejo Episcopal Latinoamericano y Caribeño (CELAM), concluyendo que la teología litúrgica resultante carecía de la profundidad y la madurez necesarias para que la liturgia cristiana fuera «cumbre y fuente» de la vida cristiana para muchas comunidades del subcontinente. El tercer capítulo analiza de cerca la recepción magisterial episcopal del Concilio en El Salvador, mostrando cómo una «eclesiología dual» propia del periodo posconciliar inmediato ha dado paso hoy en día a diferencias más extensas entre las CEBs y la institución eclesiástica. Tales diferencias han dado lugar a que las CEBs retomen su protagonismo y creatividad litúrgica para buscar celebrar su fe de manera coherente con su vida y praxis cristiana. En la segunda parte de la tesis, trabajamos las experiencias vitales y litúrgicas de las CEBs de El Salvador. El cuarto capítulo justifica el uso de métodos cualitativos de investigación para la teología, reconociéndolos como herramienta importante para las actuales teologías de la liberación y de las culturas. Identificamos aquí el papel y la actividad de un «sujeto teológico descolonial», como una «telaraña» de subjetividades que resiste y re-existe a pesar de la persistente colonialidad de la religión sacrificial. Es a un nudo de esta telaraña que giramos en el capítulo 5 para concentrar la mirada y el análisis en la práctica litúrgica de las CEBs de El Salvador con la teología que las anima, reconociendo específicamente en sus altares y en los momentos eucarísticos de sus celebraciones el espíritu de la teología litúrgica conciliar. Al final, las celebraciones litúrgicas y reflexiones teológicas de las CEBs representan una expresión de la tradición viva de la fe que sigue abriendo nuevos desafíos para la vida cristiana. / Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2024. / Submitted to: Boston College.

The contention of this study is that missiological cell group praxis is an appropriate vehicle to mobilize the local church for world evangelization - centrifugally reaching from "Jerusalem" and "Judea and Samaria" to the "ends of the earth (Acts 1:8). Methodologically it follows the pastoral circle of Holland & Henriot and investigates the missiological praxis of various small faith communities. The principles of the cosmological framework of Calvisnism (Kuyper, Dooyeweerd) are brought to bear on the missionary endeavours of the local church, with reference to the Dutch Reformed Church in South Africa. It argues for a missiologically integrated Cell Church, based on a definition of mission and evangelism, which is aimed at overcoming the fragmented missiological situation in mainline churches. This study argues that these small groups function as the basic cells of the local and universal Church, and shows how these communities come into existence and function as missiological outreach groups. / Christian Spirituality Church History and Missiology / M.

The Basic Christian Communities in Latin America were created with the official support of the Roman Catholic Church in the 1960s in order for the Church to work with the poor people of Latin America. However, the official representative of the Roman Catholic Church in Latin America, CELAM, does not recognize Liberation Theology, and the Pope and CELPM condemned the People's Church claiming it opposes the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.This thesis studies a particular experience of the Basic Christian Communities in a rural area of San Gabriel, Costa Rica. It shows that the farmers of San Gabriel de Aserri have their own culture and customs which express their strategies in order to develop their goals. The local priest should develop and support the goals of the community for the well being of the Church and the community.The survey shows that when local organizations began in San Gabriel de Aserri in 1979, they helped to broaden the farmers social and economic consciences, theological beliefs, pastoral and liturgical practices. These changes are assisted by the growth and actions of the organization known as Basic Christian Communities.The Basic Christian Communities support leaders of the communities and familiarize them with the doctrine of the Catholic Church which gives the lay people more participation in the Church. Lay leaders, along with the members of the Basic Christian Communities and priests develop new solutions to the economic, social, and political problems of the poor people.

A Renovação Carismática Católica tem uma presença marcante no catolicismo brasileiro durante o século XX. Trata-se de um movimento eclesial que provocou diversos desdobramentos na configuração do catolicismo depois do Concílio Vaticano II. A RCC se tornou espaço de elaboração e de encontro da identidade religiosa para muitos católicos. Esta pesquisa procura entender como se processou esse fenômeno a partir do conceito tipológico de Convertido proposto por Danièle Hervieu-Léger. Neste percurso abordam-se questões concernentes à RCC, passando pelo seu embate inicial com a pluralidade do catolicismo transformador esboçado pelas CEBs, além do catolicismo institucional, e com o catolicismo devocional muito forte no Brasil, pelo seu surgimento e expansão, com destaque para a significação do advento das Novas Comunidades no interior da RCC, bem como da relação entre as características de elaboração da identidade religiosa, cultivada na RCC e a modernidade. A metodologia usada é preponderantemente bibliográfica, conjugada com o manuseio de questionários que foram aplicados entre membros da RCC. / The Catholic Charismatic Renewal has an outstanding presence in the Brazilian Catholicism during the century XX. It is an ecclesial movement that led to several deployments in the configuration of the Catholicism after the Council Vatican II. RCC became elaboration space and of encounter of the religious identity for many Catholic. This research seeks to understand how this phenomenon takes place from the typological concept of "Convert" proposed by Danièle Hervieu-Léger. In this course concerning subjects are approached RCC, going by his/her initial shock with the plurality of the Catholicism transformer sketched by CEBs, besides the institutional Catholicism, and with the Catholicism very strong devocional in Brazil, for his/her appearance and expansion, with prominence for the significance of the coming of the New Communities inside RCC, as well as of the relationship among the characteristics of elaboration of the religious identity, cultivated in RCC and the modernity. The methodology used is preponderantly bibliographic, coupled with the handling of questionnaires that were applied between members of the RCC.
