| Summary: | The Catholic Church is challenged by religious diversity in much the same ways as secular institutions. The Church is a point of reference for ordinary believers and political actors alike and therefore has responsibility for working towards justice and peace inside the Church as well as outside of it, in the world. The topic of living together in diversity is therefore an important issue for the Catholic Church. This article analyses how the Catholic Church has dealt with religious diversity. Four perspectives structure this analysis: 1. In which socio-religious context does religious diversity become a practical theological challenge for the Church? 2. What is the ecclesiastical and socio-political relevance of processes of religious diversification for the Church? 3. Which theological hermeneutics can the Church draw for a proper understanding and handling of religious diversity? 4. What could a successful approach to religious diversity inside the Church look like? The article draws on literature and on one empirical study of practical approaches to religious diversity in parishes in the Dioceses of Vienna. |
