Fr. Modris Lācis, Dr. Theol. presentation "The Discovered Book: Renovation of the Inherited Tradition.
Doing the research of the phenomenon of invention in the field of technology and exact sciences, it becomes obvious that a great deal of inventions which get implemented into the real life, are closely related to the current situation and correspond to the problems we are actually confronted to. The inventors are basically connected to their field - usually they are specialists and experts in it. However frequently the next step in the development of that field is linked to the discovery in some other branch. Such interdisciplinary approach provides the development of the science. The problems demands solutions and when they appear it is necessary to choose the most appropriate.
This principle is related also to Christianity: the present problems of the Church ask for solutions, for the change of the paradigm. These solutions have to appear both on dogmatic and pastoral level. Starting with the book discovered in the ruins of the temple (2 Kings 22, 3-23, 3; paralels: 2 Chr 34, 8-33), the author suggests to follow several points in the Holy History which indicate towards innovative approaches when confronting with the new problems.
What are the possibilities and criteria for the evaluation of the changes, reforms, renewal? The creativity of theology is looking for the answers to these questions and the Church is offering its suggestions and solutions to the modern society. Pope Francis’ innovative approach to the existing pastoral practice initiates both objections and enthusiastic acceptance. The Synodal way, the apostolic exhortation “Amoris letitiae”, the Amazon synod, the encyclical “Laudato si” is a ‘fertile field’ for the creative theological research and for the implementation of it in the everyday life. Starting with the courageous, fresh and inspirational perspective to the world given to us by the saint pope John Paul II, the Church today offers the vison of the future full of hope and confidence.
