The post-conciliar Catholic theology in the West is experiencing a significant crisis of its identity. Theologians take an active part in the contemporary social and political discourse but their academic work is often in opposition to the doctrinal and moral teaching of the Catholic Church. In the document Theology Today issued in 2012, the International Theological Commission presents a positive image of Catholic theology. The document indicates the basic criteria of Catholic theology. It also emphasises the relationship of theology with the living Christian faith and the vocation of theologians to preach the faith. The document points out that authentic Catholic theologyis impossible without fidelity to the Church and to its authoritative teaching.
