From the rhizomatic deconstruction transmethod, the renewal of our holiness is analyzed as an urgency in times of domination. This is the complex objective of the investigation. To do this, we turn to the Holy Scriptures as support, together with subjectivity, in the experiences of the author in her journey as a human being who tends to Christianity: recognizing Jesus Christ as her savior and Lord; between authors such as Raimón Panikkar. This inquiry is considered in the line of research “transepistemologies of knowledge and transcomplex transmethodologies”. Deeply intertwined rhizomes are traversed in which reconstruction tends nine openings: holiness is an intense battle in our interior life; holiness we must have spiritual weapons; among other.

In the social and religious imaginary, women’s status has been devalued throughout history. Therefore, Christianity has not been immune to this, either. The Vatican Council II claims that “in Christ and in the Church, there is no inequality regarding lineage, birth, social status or sex” (LG 32). In this spirit, the Pope Francisco has expressed in a categorical way in favour of women, reporting the injustices coming from anthropological reductive visions. Being faithful to this thought, he has had concrete gestures appointing women to key posts in the Roman Curia. This is a starting point that we all women celebrate. However, all this continues to be a goal yet to be achieved. Changing the idea of woman as a “feminine nature”, incorporating the category gender as an intellectual instrument and trust in women’s ability in their diversity of gifts, generous service, honesty, fidelity to the Gospel and empowerment.

As the Sethian corpus has been almost forgotten by theologians, Christians and the people in general, besides the fact that its heritage to Christianity in general has been so wide, and with the purpose of expelling some prejudices daemons, it will be explained in the present text some theological and ritual aspects of that corpus, especially about one of most developed texts of this corpus this one as is the Apocryphon of John as a general introduction to the entire corpus and to such work in specific. As a conclusion, it will be a general note on the Sethian heritage of Christianity until today, tradition without which it is impossible to understand, nor correctly nor completely, so the ancient as the current Christianity.

Liturgical singing has lost importance within the most common parish environments. Furthermore, the role of the cantor, on many occasions, is replaced by a mere recording in liturgical celebrations, especially in the Eucharist. This work seeks to theologically revalue the role of singing within the mass, resorting to the reflection of Christology, theological anthropology and ecclesiology.

The author offers a series of guidelines, inspired by the Dominican tradition and by Thomas Aquinas, which should be present in any pedagogy of faith. The general principle that should guide all pedagogy is the search for the truth; precisely this was the project of Thomas Aquinas. The article reflects on a text by Sto. Tomás that exposes the conditions for faith to be given. It ends by providing two important dimensions that must be present in any pedagogy of the faith, namely, the capacity for the positive and the offering of content, inspired by two of the descriptions that are said of Dominic de Guzmán: preacher of grace (capacity for the positive) and doctor of the truth (content offering).

Pluralism is the variety of existing vocation, talent or charisma towards the common good. Only in this way, man will be able to satisfy each and every one of his human needs in reciprocity, feeling solid, safe or compact, as a member of the Nation, to which he is a part. Pluralist State will be one whose public power duly constituted, guarantees the population settled in a given territory, the diversity of vocation, talent or charisma to govern human rights towards the Common Good, in the face of the existence of social inequality. Pluralism as political theory and philosophical doctrine will exist as soon as vocations, talents or charisms, these indivisible essences of a different nature, reflect the “common good” in a global way. Only then, is it authentic and legitimate.
