Summary/Abstract: The author cites first the various definitions of the theologian: 1) mystic who was initiated into the life of the Holy Trinity and received the grace to transmit this initiation to others; 2) mystic who knows how to convey his religious experience to others; 3) expert in theological literature, believer or not, with an academic title. Then he presents the current tasks of the Catholic theologian, understood as a believer expert in theology: 1) derived from revelation answer to questions posed by life; 2) apology of revealed truth and of the Church; 3) finding a new language for the new evangelization; 4) evangelical view of empire of evil, in which we are immersed.
