Boston Declaration

Abstract

In a historic meeting at Boston College, more than 40 theologians from Latin America, Spain, and the U.S. discussed ways to unite both the practice and theology of the Catholic Church to complement Pope Francis’ vision of a "poor church for the poor." This Ibero-American Conference of Theology is the first-of-its-kind gathering of Hispanic theologians in the U.S. and scholars from Latin America and Spain, who addressed three key topics: globalization, social and economic exclusion, and the challenge of interculturality or the integration of different cultures living in the same place.
