Christ and the Spirit. Some Aspects of Christology in Raniero Cantalamessa.

Resumo

The author introduces Cantalamessa’s christology as an attempt at a pneumatic christology. By analyzing the work of the Capuchin priest, he discloses more than a mea- ning of the pneumatological dimension regarding the approach to the mystery of Christ. On the one hand, a spiritual christology means to discover the Holy Spirit as a term a quo, that causes, moves and goes with the theological reflection, through the integration of the different approaches to the mystery of Christ; on the other hand, the Paraclete himself is a term ad quem in the personal encounter with the Christ always alive in the Spirit. It deals with formulating a spiritual christology, which will invite to find out Jesus Christ as a live Person.
