The theologian Santiago del Cura Elena addresses a topic of maximum ecclesial actuality. The increase in the number of ordinations of deacons and the question of the diaconate ordination of women has made the diaconate an issue that must be studied in depth from magisterial and theological criteria.

For his part, Professor Florentino García Martínez, an expert on the Dead Sea Scrolls, addresses the theme of the “new covenant” in a movement of Judaism present at the time in which Jesus lived, which helps to know something important for primitive Christianity.

Francisco de Vitoria and Human Rights

The year 2026 marks the fifth centenary of Francisco de Vitoria's arrival in Salamanca, where he taught at university and became one of the main references of the so-called School of Salamanca. On this occasion, we propose an in-depth study of his personality, his work and his influence.

The importance of Francisco de Vitoria and the School of Salamanca for the reflection on natural law and the law of nations is well known. We therefore invite you to reflect on the history of this question and its repercussions for philosophical and theological thought.

This line of thought was one of those that converged in the development of reflection on human rights and their formulation in the 20th century. Today, the metaphysical and moral principles on which human rights are based seem to be losing evidence. It is therefore enriching for the promotion of humanism to think about how human rights have been founded and how it is possible to continue to provide an intellectual basis for the proposal of human rights and their defence. Theology has made its contributions along this path and is called upon to promote reflection on human rights.
