Abstract

© 2020, Comenius University. All rights reserved. This research was conducted to study attitudes of Bangkok Catholics toward Buddhists. The four-model theology of religions was used as the theoretical framework to ascertain the results. The study first critically examined the four-model theology of religions. Then in-depth interviews were carried out with 25 Bangkok Catholics to examine their attitudes, positions, and views toward Buddhism and Thai Buddhists according to the theology of religions. It was found that none of the Catholic subjects had the attitude of exclusivism, while the majority had the attitude of pluralism. This study shows the significance of how a tiny minority Asian Church has adapted to a dominant Buddhist majority socioculturally, politically, and even theologically.
