    Abstract

    This article addresses the problem of overcoming the discrepancy between faith and temporal engagement, signaled in the Gaudium et Spes of the Second Vatican Council and in many statements of John Paul II. It begins with the analysis of the Council’s text (no. 43), showing the historical-ecclesiastical, theological-spiritual and social causes of this discord. Then it points to certain elements of the Council's teaching, helpful in the theological and spiritual reflection on overcoming this split. In the second part, the article gives on this subject the theological and spiritual indications based on the conciliar theology of the laity according to Giuseppe Lazzati. In the final part, it supplements the earlier analyzes referring to the deepened ecclesiology, the broader concept of secularity, and to the science of building a synthesis between the faith and the temporal commitment included in the Christi fideles laici of John Paul II.
