| dc.description.abstract | The Church is disciple and missionary of Jesus of Nazareth, and needs to be
identifies more and more, truly entered on the liberator project of God and Jesus. For
this reason, the poor as a theological place according to Jon Sobrino is the study
object of this research. The objective of the research is to present a reflexive
theological in view of a referenced ecclesiology in the person of Jesus of Nazareth,
therefore, in a close relation with the Christology, whereby the Church is poor and
reveals to the world hope and freedom of the impoverished. However, is not always
possible to see clearly its connection with the person and the praxis of Jesus. Using
this assumption, this work seeks to comprehend the process by which the poor
became a revealing place of God. It also seeks to comprehend the starting point to
the constitution of a Church configured to the person and to the praxis of Jesus of
Nazareth thus a poor Church and in favor of the poor. As of Jon Sabino‟s theology, it
has shown that every theology should come from historical Jesus of the Gospels,
because there is where you can find the revealing action of God. The world of the
poor is constitutive of the Church because it is so for God and was so for Jesus of
Nazareth. The biblical tradition, in turn, clearly shows this truth asserted throughout
the research, since the Old Testament to the reality of Jesus, what we see is a God
in favor of the poor and a Jesus totally identified with them. Concluding, the
referential base of the research has its base, mainly, on the works of Jon Sabino.
Jesus will always be the paradigm to the being of the Church, as His praxis will
always be the template to the act of the Church. His partiality should consequently be
the partiality of the Church. Therefore, if Jesus‟ mission consists in announcing the
Kingdom of God and this announcement is destined specially to the poor, since they
are addressees to the Kingdom, the mission of the Church is none other than
perpetuate the mission of Jesus; This way, the Church of Jesus must be a sign of
salvation always finding its starting point in Jesus and in the world of the poor.
Thereupon, the insistence of Pope Francis in reaffirming that the place of the Church
is in the midst of the poor, as well as in affirming that the main reference for
ecclesiology will always be Jesus and his liberating praxis, is justified. | eng |
