Decentralizing Theology: The Second Vatican Council and Peter Phan
No full textThis chapter focuses on the decentralization of theology - that is, on the inclusion of Christian traditions rooted outside of the West, within a worldwide community, having as a reference the prophetic vision of the Second Vatican Council. This theme lends itself to an ecclesiological analysis, but I deal with it from a political perspective interested in the complexity of the new challenges of contemporary theology, and also in their social and political consequences. The legitimacy of this perspective is grounded - first of all - in the Christian tradition, which over the course of the history has influenced not only the religious sphere but also avere area of human life, and especially the political. Second, I argue that the solutions and approaches to this issue will be both theological and political, because whenever we face the theological challenges, this will influence the sociopolitical order, whether directly or not. Third, though not pretending to resolve the question of the decanting of theology, I hereby attempt to frame and restate the term of the issues at hand

Toward a More Hospitable Church: A Dialectic of the Ecclesiology of Bernard Lonergan (1904-1984) and Peter C. Phan (1943-…)
No full textThis article explores the interconnection between the phenomenon of migration and ecclesiology by analyzing the thoughts of Bernard Lonergan (1904-1984) and Peter C. Phan (1943- …). Utilizing qualitative method and literature study, this research seeks to elucidate how Lonergan’s idea of historical consciousness and Phan’s theological-ecclesiological reflection upon the Church could bring about a fresh understanding of the Church which is more hospitable and hence more inclusive. This is certainly not an easy task as the Church has undergone a lot of dynamics. Looking back at the history of this more-than-two-thousand-year-old institution, one will find that it is indeed a history laden with accounts of migrations. Consequently, while Phan’s project of doing a theological reflection on migration can pave the way towards a more hospitable Church, Lonergan’s proposal to resort to historical consciousness may serve as the key element in ecclesiology
Cultural Diversity and Religious Pluralism: The Church's Mission in Asia
No full textThe author argues that cultural diversity and religious pluralism present formidable challenges to the mission of theChurch, and he situates his discussion in the context of Asia. He discusses the anthropological concept of culture and offers a critique of this concept in the light of globalization and the new communication technologies. Phan presents the Chinese Rites Controversy as a historical example of the concern for inculturation and dialogue. Finally, he highlights ways in which inculturation and interreligious dialogue can together further the mission of the Church in the multi-cultural and multi-religious context of Asia
Self-composition by Symbolic Execution

In order to capture program executions, self-composition has been expressed in Hoare or modal logic, and has been proved (or refuted) by using theorem provers. These approaches require considerable user interaction, and verification expertise. This paper presents an automated technique to prove self-composition. We reformulate the idea of self-composition into comparing pairs of symbolic paths of the same program; the symbolic paths are given by Symbolic Execution. The result of our analysis is a logical formula expressing self-composition in first-order theories, which can be solved by off-the-shelf Satisfiability Modulo Theories solver
