TitleReverend Father

Olegario González de Cardedal (born October 2, 1934) is a Spanish Catholic theologian and author. He was born in Lastra del Cano (Ávila), Spain, in 1934. He studied in Ávila, where he was ordained a priest in 1959, and at the University of Munich, Germany, where he graduated in theology in 1964. He also continued his studies in Oxford and Washington. As Chair of Theology at the Pontifical University of Salamanca, Spain, a position he still holds, he took part in the third session of the Second Vatican Council and in the International Theological Conference. He is also an ordinary member of the Spanish Real Academia de Ciencias Morales y Políticas (Royal Academy of Moral and Political Sciences) in Madrid.

Theological works

Olegario de Cardedal's primary academic interest appears to be Christology (in which inter alia he has shown interest in Anglican contributions). His many publications include: Meditación teológica desde España, 1970; Elogio de la encina. Existencia cristiana y fidelidad creadora, 1973; La gloria del hombre, 1973; Jesús de Nazaret. Aproximación a la cristología, 1975; La gloria del hombre. Reto entre una cultura de la fe y una cultura de la increencia, 1985; Raíz de la esperanza, 1995; Cuatro poetas desde la otra ladera. Unamuno, Jean Paul, Machado, Oscar Wilde, 1996; La entraña del cristianismo, 1997; Cristología, 2001; Sobre la muerte, 2002, Dios, 2004. He observed in La entraña del cristianismo that there are "gaps in theology" which need to be filled by practical spirituality and popular piety, a view quoted with approval by Pope Francis in his 2024 encyclical letter, Dilexit nos.

Olegario de Cardedal organised a succession of theology summer schools in Santander and has also written many essays on the current situation of the Catholic Church in Spain.
