thesis-dissertationD Britto, William; 2024. Towards Greater Balance between Autonomy and Authority: The Visitation of the Diocesan Bishop to Religious of Pontifical Right in the CIC1983.. keyboard_arrow_downLIRIAS4160110
description
This thesis examines the complex relationship between the autonomy of religious institutions and the authority of the diocesan bishop, especially in the context of episcopal visitations. The first chapter provides a careful analysis of the relevant canons of the CIC1983, namely c. 586 on the autonomy of religious institutions, and cc. 396, 397 and 683 on episcopal authority in the context of religious visitation. This analysis shows that there is a tendency to prioritize authority. This can lead to an imbalance between autonomy and authority, and even a violation of the autonomy of religious institutions. Because it helps to understand how relationships have been able to develop throughout history, the second chapter examines the historical context of autonomy and authority in the early Church and in the important councils. In the interaction between local bishops and monasteries, a tendency appears to give local bishops authority over monks and monasteries, at the expense of their autonomy. Over time, the recognition of religious autonomy grew, eventually leading to the explicit recognition of the concept of autonomy in the CIC1983. To balance the tension between authority and autonomy in a more fruitful way, the third chapter places the earlier findings in an ecclesiological context. Instead of the institutional ecclesiological model that currently dominates canon law, we propose the ecclesiology of synodality as a promising framework that can effectively reconcile autonomy and authority. Synodal principles contribute to a transformative approach to church governance that emphasizes listening, discernment, service, and the active participation of all members. Finally, the thesis translates synodal ecclesiological principles into concrete canon law and makes suggestions for the revision of certain canons to better reflect synodal principles and facilitate a harmonious relationship between autonomy and authority, especially in the episcopal visitation of religious. In short, the thesis argues for the integration of synodal principles into the CIC1983 and for visitation processes that promote cooperation, inclusiveness and mutual respect between religious institutions and ecclesiastical authorities.

description
Baptism is a promising starting point for developing a synodal vision of the Church. With its emancipatory potential—the baptized fundamentally share the same dignity and mission—baptism can help replace pyramidal realities and imaginations with charismatic and complementary ones. Unfortunately, however, official documents for the Synod 2021-2024 (and theologians also) usually narrow baptism down to a static, ecclesial fact or “state” that challenges hierarchical power concentration, without much interest in the spiritual-mystical and ethos dimensions of baptism. In this essay, I will first explore the growing importance of baptism in these documents, then develop the meaning of baptism drawing on the Second Vatican Council and on the lex orandi of the rite of baptism, to conclude with a plea for a synodal ethos rooted in baptism.

description
What does ecclesial unity mean when the Church is also marked by a diversity of cultures, characters, experiences, convictions, etc? This article argues that the answer to that question depends on how one imagines the Church. An institutional view of the Church will stress uniformity and, therefore, obedience. Yet the Church is also the people of God, gifted with various charisms for serving one another and the world. This leads to another view of unity, which stresses the complementarity of our different gifts. Thirdly, the image of the Church as a sacrament of God’s light and love opens up the Church to God, from whom the Church receives, and to world, which it is meant to serve. Here unity consists in relating to God and in befriending and serving our fellow human beings. These (and other) ecclesial perspectives on unity mutually complement one another; as Avery Dulles has argued so well, no single model of the Church suffices. That holds also true for ecclesial unity.
