Abstract(s)
Qual é o significado especificamente político do pontificado de Bento XVI? Ao longo da sua vida, este Papa tem reflectido profundamente sobre questões políticas no
sentido mais abrangente do termo. A sua originalidade parece incidir na preocupação
com o papel dos católicos enquanto católicos nos países ocidentais onde se tem assistido
a um recuo da religião, em geral, e do catolicismo, em particular. Na segunda parte deste breve ensaio, procuro passar em revista a obra de João de Salisbúria, recomendada pelo Papa, e tento estabelecer alguns paralelos entre o pensamento político de ambos.
What is the specifically political meaning of Benedict XVI’s pontificate? Throughout his life, this Pope has offered a number of deep reflections on political issues broadly understood. His originality seems to reside in his concern with the role of Catholics as Catholics in Western countries where religion in general, and Catholicism in particular, is in retreat. In the second part of this short essay I explore the work of John of Salisbury, which was recommended by the Pope himself, and try to make certain parallels between the political thought of both.
