Next he gives an overview of the plural religious situation of the Continent, showing increases and decreases, survivals and revivals, presence of minorities and religious sectors growing. Then he deals with the specific situation of the Catholic Church in LA and the Caribbean. He observes on the one hand the survival of a deep religiosity among the Latin American people and a general weakening of Christian life and of belonging to the Church: there is a crisis of faith, for which the Aparecida Conference acts as an alarm signal of the main causes of this crisis: externally, a real global cultural tsunami, and internally, a restorative process focused on creating a new Christianity."porWith permission of the license/copyright holderCrisisPluralismLatin Americacrisis of faithIntercultural and contextual theologiesComparative religion and interreligious dialogueLatin American theologiesReligious pluralismTheology of religionsArticle
