Truth and Revelation in Recent Catholic Theology

César Izquierdo

Abstract

Between revelation and truth deep relationships exist. The doctrine of the Church, in the two Vatican Councils, responded to illustrated criticism denying the truth involved in revelation. This study presents seven proposals in Catholic theology in recent decades, involving a reinterpretation, in varying degrees, depending on the case, of the truth of revelation. Finally an answer is offered to those who claim the impossibility that knowledge involves authority or obedience; the impossibility to perceive a divine order (other than the mundane by definition), and the impossibility of expressing a divine reality that completely transcends our experience the world.
