An approach to the theological and pastoral method and its construction from the mercy principle

Abstract

The theological routine is a dynamic activity that may have two movements: one is to turn towards itself and another one to the outside. To do theology is a two ways dynamics; one way gives what to think; the other one leads how to act. So it is a dynamic in two moments: ad-intra and ad-extra theological routine between the movement that is made ad-intra: to think oneself to systematized oneself and the one that is done ad-extra: to project, to confront, to enrich oneself with the contexts to generate the praxis. The how to do theology ad-intra or ad-extra will determine its reflection-systematization as well as its actionprojection. The idea is not to separate these two dynamics but to make separate these two dynamics but to make possible a reflection of the method based on them. The purpose of this text is to show the results of how a research team reached them.
