This article reviews the most acute fronts of conflict facing the European Union, in the light of the social teachings of Pope Francis, especially his last Encyclical Fratelli tutti and the five speeches addressed to the «Old Continent» during these eight years of Pontificate. The reality of Europe today is that it is suffering from the harsh impacts of the pandemic, Jihadist terrorism, and immigration, as well as multiple crises in its institutions, frequently dominated by technocratic logic, and is becoming a fertile ground for Populism, Nationalism and Neoliberal proposals. Pope Bergoglio has addressed, on several occasions, societies in the process of political integration in times of great turbulence, asking them to constantly safeguard community values, the transcendent dignity of the human being, the culture of encounter and multipolarity/transversality in addressing problems. Likewise, he also asks them not to forget the unifying memory of the past, to face the present and to open the way to a future of hope, with responsibility towards the entire world and all peoples. ; Este artículo revisa los frentes de conflicto más agudos que afronta la Unión Europea a la luz del magisterio social del papa Francisco, sobre todo de su última encíclica Fratelli tutti y de los cinco discursos dirigidos al Viejo Continente en esos ocho años de pontificado. La realidad europea hoy sufre los duros impactos de la pandemia, del terrorismo yihadista, de la inmigración, así como de la multicrisis de las instituciones, frecuentemente dominadas por lógicas tecnocráticas, y está siendo campo abonado para populismos, nacionalismos y propuestas neoliberales. El papa Bergoglio se ha dirigido varias veces en sus ocho años de pontificado a unas sociedades en proceso de integración política, en tiempos de grandes turbulencias, pidiéndoles que tengan muy presentes los valores comunitarios, la dignidad trascendente del ser humano, la cultura del encuentro y la multipolaridad/transversalidad en el abordaje de los problemas. Asimismo, les pide también que no olviden la memoria integradora del pasado, para afrontar el presente y abrir camino a un futuro de esperanza, con responsabilidad hacia el conjunto del mundo.

The article takes as its starting point the different modes of articulation between the public and private dimensions, especially as once conceived in the context of modernity and now revised in the context of the digital revolution. It is in this complex cultural context that theology finds itself in a somewhat difficult situation, which does not invalidate, rather requires that dialogue be its way of being. Among the topics of this dialogue, the concept of "public theology" stands out, articulated in the debate with several areas of knowledge, such as philosophy, ethics and politics itself. Thus, we get to the proposal of a Fundamental Public Theology, which finds in mediation its fundamental epistemological resource. ; The article takes as its starting point the different modes of articulation between the public and private dimensions, especially as once conceived in the context of modernity and now revised in the context of the digi‑ tal revolution.

É nesse complexo contexto cultural que a teologia conhece uma situação algo difícil. O que não invalida, antes exige, que o diálogo seja o seu modo de ser e de estar. Dos tópicos desse diálogo, destaca‑se o conceito de "teologia pública", articulado no debate com diversas áreas do saber, como a filosofia, a ética e a própria política. Chega‑se, assim, à proposta de uma Teologia Pública Fundamental, que encontra na categoria da mediação o seu recurso epistemológico fundamental.

This article adresses the question of how religion can exist in a liberal democracy. It will first present the concept of «public reason», wich was developed in the Political Liberalism by John Rawls, arquable the most important liberal philosopher of the 20th century. To go in a deeper understanding and appreciation of this important work, it would be helpful to keep in mind Jürgen Habermas' recent influential writtings that claim religious traditions as pre-political sources for the cultivation of democratic citizenship. In recent years, Pope Ratzinger's writtings, wich hove often referenced to Rawls' and Habermas's works, show a genuine interest in having a fruit ful discourse with both of them. ; Este artículo afronta la pregunta de cómo puede existir la religión en una democracia liberal. En el arranque está la idea de «razón pública» del filósofo liberal más importante del siglo XX, el norteamericano John Rawls y su Political Liberalism. Ante su potente discurso pondremos el no menos influyente de los últimos trabajos de Jürgen Habermas, con su reivindicación de las tradiciones religiosas como fuentes prepolíticas para cultivar la ciudadanía democrática. También va en esa dirección el Papa Ratzinger que en los últimos años ha dedicado significativas referencias tanto a Rawls como a Habermas, entrando en diálogo fructífero con ambos.

Entre el 27 de agosto y el 2 de septiembre de 2001 nos reunimos en la Katholische Akademie de Berlín unos cincuenta jesuitas que trabajamos en el ámbito de las ciencias sociales (EUROJESS: European Jesuits in Social Sciences) de una buena parte de Europa. Nos acompañaron durante todo el tiempo el P. Michael Czerny (Canadá), Secretario de la Compañía para el Apostolado Social, y el P. Mark Rosaert (Bélgica), Presidente de la Conferencia de Provinciales Europeos. Una reducida representación, en torno a la media docena, de los países del Este: Polonia, República Checa, Eslovenia, y el resto de la Comunidad Europea, prácticamente de todos los países en donde hay jesuitas. De España participamos diez.
