Ernesto Cardenal y Francisco. La iglesia como objeto de análisis poético-teológico

Abstract

Ernesto Cardenal and Francis. The Church as an Objective of Poetic and Theological Analysis
The views of Pope Francis and the Nicaraguan poet Ernesto Cardenal converge in many aspects when interpreting the theology of the community. Cardenal, the representative of the Liberation Theology, and Pope Francis, who heads toward the mentioned theology, are the two personalities of the Latin American thought. Cardenal, the author of Cántico cósmico, and the current Pope, the author of the encyclicals on the topic of the Church as a community, can find some common points. This study will continue with the characteristics of the canticle and encyclical as the two genres and means of description of the ecclesiastical reality. Furthermore, the study will focus on the deepening of the vision of the Church as a community of the poor and needy. The attitudes of Francis and Cardenal are similar, but the orthodoxy of the Sovereign Pontiff requires even more than the rebellious poet- priest from Nicaragua proposes.
