Teologia Bisericii locale în lumina dialogului teologic dintre Biserica Ortodoxă și Biserica Romano-Catolică
The Theology of the Local Church in light of the Theological Dialogue Between the Orthodox Church and the Roman-Catholic Church

Summary/Abstract: The concept of local Church and its relation to the Universal Church acquired a major importance for theological debates both within churches and in bilateral and multilateral theological dialogues. Inthis regard, this study aims to analyze local Church theology from the perspective of Orthodox-Catholic theological dialogue. In our approachwe will focus fundamentally on the common theological documents adopted in the dialogue, but we will also consider secondary theological literature generated by the adoption of these specific documents. Analysis of the concept of „local Church”, highlighting the eclesial criteria of thelocal church, regulation of the local-universal relation in the One Churchas well as the centrality of the local church bishop - are only few of themajor coordinates of the local church theology reflected in the common theological documents.
