El ecumenismo del laico. El quehacer del laico en el diálogo ecuménico a partir del decreto unitatis redintegratio y el directorio para la aplicación de los principios y normas sobre el ecumenismo

Abstract

In this article he studies the conciliar decree Unitatis Redintegratio (1964), and the Directory for the application of the principles and norms on ecumenism (1993). These documents are used in order to postulate a concrete scenario for the laity of today, since sometimes it is not clear how the laity can act before the different Christian confessions. The present text will initially be concerned with the role of the laity in the Unitatis Redintegratio. In a second moment, he will study the Ecumenical Directory and how it influences the work of the laity in the Church. Subsequently, we will reflect on the role of the laity in ecumenism and conclude with some work perspectives.
