The discipline „Intercultural Theology“, which is more and more established in the universities of German speaking countries, expresses in a special way what « catholicity » means. According to relevant texts of Vatican Council II, the church is « catholic » if she lives unity in diversity, stands together with the poor, is able to translate her message in different languages and realizes the „new life“ of baptism in different cultural traditions. The „catholic profile“ of intercultural theology consists in the competence to give an answer to the challenge of the other (responsivity), to be in dialogue with as many as possible (polylogue) and to take up the challenge of the public sphere of society (political orientation). This is the way how « Intercultural Theology » can fulfill what 1 Peter 3 :15 says : to answer for the « Logos » of Christian Hope in a global horizon.

ABSTRACT
The discipline „Intercultural Theology“, which is more and more established in the universities of German speaking countries, expresses in a special way what « catholicity » means. According to relevant texts of Vatican Council II, the church is « catholic » if she lives unity in diversity, stands together with the poor, is able to translate her message in different languages and realizes the „new life“ of baptism in different cultural traditions. The „catholic profile“ of intercultural theology consists in the competence to give an answer to the challenge of the other (responsivity), to be in dialogue with as many as possible (polylogue) and to take up the challenge of the public sphere of society (political orientation). This is the way how « Intercultural Theology » can fulfill what 1 Peter 3 :15 says : to answer for the « Logos » of Christian Hope in a global horizon.
