  • Interreligious dialogue

    • Javier Melloni Ofrecern charla sobre espiritualidad

    Javier Melloni is well known for being a theologist who practices, theorizes and reflects about interreligious dialogue. Melloni proofs the proverb: extra Ecclesiam nulla salus (outside church there is no salvation) This expression was first formulated by St. Cipriano de Cartago(288): it was resumed and strengthen in the fourteenth century by Boni Facio VIII in his Bull Unam Sanctam (1302), and submits it to the next level distanced from the actual religion in order to find essential contact points passing through many religions and that raises them in a purely spiritual way. The ultimate goal is to give Javier Melloni that "respect and acceptance of others, reflecting the opening and donation to Another".

    Melloni’s theoretical background involves anthropological, sociological, epistemological and theological factors. For him the interreligious dialogue is as a normal dialogue that needs the participants’ willingness to be open-minded and to detach from oneself in order to enable the existence of others.

    Based on his ideology, Javier Melloni states that the interreligious dialogue has two main results: 1) the assumption that religious confession leads to mystery and 2) with that assumption people can embrace the spiritual wealth of humanity.

  • Comparative Mysticism

    • Javier Melloni has studied comparative mysticism as a complement of interreligious dialogue. He has established that the profound meaning of religious’ mystic does not imply an evasion of the actual world but the opportunity of being self-transformed throughout the most significant religious aspects. Comparative mysticism involves a journey throughout the mystical experiences that every religion has.
