VATICAN CITY, SEP 30, 2006 (VIS) - The members of the International Theological Commission will hold their annual plenary session from October 2 to October 6 in the Vatican and presided by Cardinal William Joseph Levada. The general secretary, Father Luis Ladaria, S.I., will direct the work reunions.
According to a message made public today, the participants will reflect on the themes that were decided upon at the beginning of the actual five year period (2004 - 2008), and in particular, the project for a document about the fate of children dying unbaptized, in the context of the universal salvific design of God, the uniqueness of Christ's mediation and the sacramentality of the Church as to salvation.
The first draft of a document on the theme of the identity of nature and the method of theology as "scientia fidei" will also be studied. There will also be an exchange of opinions on the foundations of natural moral law in the light of the teachings of John Paul II's encyclicals "Veritatis splendor" and "Fides et ratio".
At the end of the Plenary Session, a Eucharistic concelebration will be held in the Chapel "Redemptoris Mater" in the Vatican, presided by the Holy Father.
