After the Christmas Address of the Holy Father to the Roman Curia in 2005, studies on the Second Vatican Council have increasingly focused on hermeneutical issues. Since then, many studies dealing with the interpretation of the Council have been published, providing quite different readings of the event. This article offers an analysis of the book...

There is some ambiguity in the use of "synodality". In this paper we seek to give some elements to clarify the issue. In the first part, we provide a short historical description of how the relation between canon law and ecclesiology was understood. We then point out some of the risks usually faced when a model of canon law dependent on ecclesiolog...

This article offers a brief study of John Henry Newman on the holiness of the Church; not as a context for personal holiness, but as a reality where it is contained. Our purpose then will be to show the dogmatic aspect of the holiness of the Church, the interrelation of its visible and invisible dimensions, and the most appropriate setting for the...

Although this is not the main theme revealed to the three little shepherds, in the message of Fátima we can underscore several aspects of the Church. It appears mainly as the Mystical Body of Christ and the communion of saints, without a separation between them. Indeed, the communion begins with God's initiative and bears fruit when the faithful ar...

From this perspective, the study will...

L'affermazione che San Josemaría Escrivá sia stato uno dei precursori del Concilio Vaticano II è abbastanza comune. Nel suo insegnamento anteriore all'assise conciliare, infatti, emergono in primo luogo temi come la chiamata universale alla santità e all'apostolato e la missione dei laici, sanciti poi dal Concilio. Poi ci sono altri temi, che furon...
After fifty years, the reception of Lumen gentium is undergoing a period of impasse. This paper brings to light some aspects of method and content which may promote a new way of reflecting on the mystery of the Church.

La comunicazione della fede viene impostata normalmente nel rapporto tra due persone, senza tener tanto conto della Chiesa, anch’essa agente della traditio Evangelii. Il vantaggio di considerare la trasmissione della fede a partire della comunità credente è quello di non fermarsi ad alcuni momenti o azioni in cui tale evangelizzazione è già stata c...

This study offers an historical overview of the theological reflection about the role of the Holy Spirit in the Church.

In the first years of the third millenium, inside but also outside of the Church, we recognize a growing and consolidated interest for holiness. This is recorded, for instance, in the numerous beatifications and canonizations. Such interest however is placed side by side with another phenomenon: the attention with which the media follow events link...

O estudo do tema da santidade da Igreja e de sua influência na história requer uma análise detalhada e circunstancial a cada período. O século XIX, por exemplo, foi pródigo em dificuldades eclesiais. O teólogo Mathias Scheeben caracteriza bem o pensamento teológico e as dificuldades da transição entre a Escola romana e o período da Neo-escolástica....
