The COVID-19 pandemic has become a major event that affects many aspects of life, including church life. The church needs to adapt itself to the changes that occur while responding to various ...situations around it. This situation brings two questions for the church to reflect on, namely whether the church has been paying attention to the concrete issues around it and whether the church has truly been present for others. This paper aims to show that the post-pandemic church needs to be a church that is faithfully present for others. For that, I will discuss the impact of the pandemic on the church. Then, I will explore Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s view of the church for others and James Davison Hunter’s ideas about faithful presence. Both of them are trying to show a church that wants to be present in the midst of society with various dynamics of life. Finally, I discuss these two views to construct an incarnational, relational, and missional post-pandemic ecclesiology.
Se quiere mostrar sintéticamente el posible aporte de la dinámica cultural de la fe cristiana para los tiempos actuales. En este sentido, se indican los factores teológicos implicados en esta ...dinámica. La metodología seguida es una reflexión teológica fundamental sobre los datos bíblicos del Nuevo Testamento y de la tradición eclesial. Después de una premisa respecto de lo que se puede entender como “cultura humana”, se muestra, ante todo, la falsa perspectiva del “modernismo” actual; más adelante, se señala la importancia de la categoría de "acontecimiento" para identificar la naturaleza del cristianismo. Ambas consideraciones son condiciones necesarias para una adecuada impostación de la dinámica cultural de la fe. Sigue la enunciación de esta misma dinámica communio eclesial y que puede ser de"nida como el desarrollo crítico y sistemático de la pertenencia a esta communio. Las conclusiones a las que hemos llegado sugieren que un reconocimiento efectivo de la dinámica cultural de la fe puede ser un aporte signi"cativo para la presencia de la Iglesia en el mundo y para los tiempos culturalmente fragmentados.
Kesatuan gereja melintasi waktu secara tersirat tampak dalam kalimat pengantar sebelum pengucapan Pengakuan Iman Rasuli dalam ibadah gerejawi pada umumnya. Namun demikian, tampaknya hal tersebut ...masih belum secara jelas diperbincangkan dalam gereja; sehingga masih sangat buram saat umat diminta untuk menjelaskan posisi orang mati, orang hidup, dan orang yang belum lahir sebagai satu komunitas. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk membahas kesatuan persekutuan umat Kristen melintasi waktu; yakni ikut sertanya orang mati dan orang yang belum lahir dalam persekutuan orang Kristen. Penulis berargumen bahwa komunitas orang Kristen melingkupi ketiganya: orang mati, orang yang hidup, dan orang yang akan datang sebagai suatu kesatuan. Dengan mempercakapkan konsep communio sanctorum dari Dietrich Bonhoeffer dan Elizabeth Johnson, serta waktu yang mencakup masa lalu, masa kini, dan masa yang akan datang, penulis membangun percakapan mengenai gereja sebagai persekutuan transtemporal.
Il saggio ricostruisce il processo di elaborazione dell’istruzione pastorale Communio et Progressio, promulgata da Paolo VI il 23 maggio 1971. Il documento si connette strettamente al decreto ...conciliare Inter Mirifica sugli strumenti di comunicazione sociale, dato che la sua origine si deve a una precisa disposizione dei padri conciliari espressa nel decreto al n. 23. Attingendo principalmente alla documentazione inedita raccolta presso l’Archivio del Pontificio Consiglio per le Comunicazioni Sociali, si dà conto dell’articolato percorso redazionale durato sette anni durante i quali le varie componenti ecclesiastiche operarono quell’effettiva opera di discernimento sul fenomeno complessivo della comunicazione che il Concilio non era stato in grado di condurre. This article reconstructs the elaboration of the pastoral instruction “Communio et Progressio”, disseminated on 23 May 1971 by Paul VI. The document is closely connected to the conciliary decree “Inter Mirifica”, on the instruments of social communication, given that its origin is owed to a specific arrangement from the Council fathers which is expressed in Decree n. 23. Drawing principally from the unpublished documentation preserved in the Archive of the Papal Council for Social Communications, it accounts for the complex editorial process that lasted seven years. During this time, the various ecclesiastical bodies carried out an effective and comprehensive evaluation of the communications that the Council had been unable to manage
Svrha je ovoga članka promišljanje o pentekostalnom načinu razumijevanja zajedništva svetih, slijedom kritičkog bavljenja eklezijalnom vizijom dvojice svjetskih pentekostalnih teologa iz ...postkomunističkih zemalja: Petra Kuzmiča i Miroslava Volfa. Članak se sastoji od tri dijela: u prvom je dijelu predstavljen kratak povijesni i teološki pregled doktrine communio sanctorum, sa svrhom uspostavljanja primjerenog konteksta za daljnja razmatranja te jasnog ukazivanja na korisnost razmišljanja o ovoj važnoj ekleziološkoj temi. Drugi dio donosi pregled dokumenta „Perspektive Koinoniae“ (Završno izvješće s Treće petogodišnjice pentekostalno-rimokatoličkog dijaloga), usredotočujući se na prvi krug razgovora (Riano, Italija, 1985.) koji su se odvijali na temu razumijevanja pojma communio sanctorum. U trećem dijelu, autor predstavlja i komentira dokument Kuzmiča i Volfa „Teologija Crkve kao zajedništva osoba“, koji predstavlja jedan od najranijih pokušaja artikuliranja pentekostalne ekleziologije temeljem poimanja communio sanctorum. Autor na kraju pokazuje kako ova ekleziološka vizija pomaže pri oblikovanju pentekostalne teologije javnoga društvenog života.
The purpose of this paper is to reflect on the Pentecostal understanding of the communion of saints by critically engaging with the ecclesiological vision of two world-class Pentecostal theologians from post-communist countries: Peter Kuzmič and Miroslav Volf. Th e paper has three sections: in the first one, a brief historical and theological overview of the doctrine of communio sanctorum is presented, to both set the stage for the core of the paper, and to point out the usefulness of reflecting on this particular ecclesiological topic. The second section offers an outline of “Perspectives on Koinonia” (the final report from the Third Quinquennium of the Pentecostal-Roman Catholic Dialogue), focusing on the first round of talks (Riano, Italy, 1985), which were on the topic of communio sanctorum. In the third section, the author presents and engages with Kuzmič & Volf ’s paper, “Theology of the Church as a Fellowship of Persons” which represents one of the earliest attempts to articulate a Pentecostal ecclesiology based on the notion of communio sanctorum. In the end, the author will attempt to show how this ecclesiological vision helps the shaping of a Pentecostal theology of public life.

The concept of marital communio amoris expressed in the apostolic exhortations Familiaris Consortio of John Paul II and Amoris Laetitia of Pope Francis is the subject of this paper. In theology, this ...phrase has generally been used to describe the relationship of the Divine Persons in the Trinity. The phrase communio amoris in relation to marriage and family comes from the theological thought of John Paul II. The Pope used this term several times in the exhortation. An important issue is the reference of the phrase “communion of love” to spouses entering into a sacramental union. Pope Francis, although he uses the phrase to refer to Trinitarian relationships, does not explicitly use this expression to refer to marital relationships. Communio amoris, however, can be read into the concept of marital love presented in Amoris Laetitia.
Virtuality in Dietrich Bonhoeffers’ Sanctorum Communio: Collective intelligence as a new epistemology of the church? Collective intelligence has been indicated from biological, philosophical, ...anthropological and technological developments. The stygmergy principle serves to explain collective behaviour in nature such as with ants. An earlier form of collective intelligence is found in Leibniz’ Monadology. Today, collective intelligence emerges from the anthropological space of knowledge. This article argues that collective intelligence such as Wikipedia is based on a postfoundational epistemology and asks whether this can be seen as a new epistemology for the self and the other. With these insights as hermeneutical interface, Bonhoeffers’ ecclesiology in Sanctorum Communio is re-read, and it is argued that Bonhoeffers’ church concept as Christus als Gemeinde existierend collectively might serve as a new epistemology for the church.
Karol Wojtyla elaborated a social philosophy that is scatte-
red in different texts among which the chapter “Participation” of Person
and action stands out, and the writing: Person: subject and ...community. Wojtyla did not offer, however, at any time a systematic vision of his
thought, so it is difficult to define his positions on these issues. The objecti-
ve of this paper is to solve this deficiency by systematically presenting his
social philosophy, thus also making it possible to assess him. Our analysis
has detected 8 central points through which we will expose his thought:
1) Primacy of the person; 2) Personal value of the action: participation
and alienation; 3) I-you: the interpersonal dimension of the communi-
ty; 4) The “we”: the social dimension of the community; 5) Community,
society and Communio personarum; 6) The person in society: collecti-
vism, totalitarianism and personalism; 7) The common good: the joint
construction of the person and the community; 8) Attitudes towards the
common good. Due to the length of this work, the paper is divided into
two articles. In the first, points 1 to 3 are presented, and in the second,
the remaining 5. The whole of the research clearly shows the originality
and power of his thinking, despite a certain lack of systematicity.
Karol Wojtyla elaboró una filosofía social que se encuentra
dispersa en diferentes textos entre los que destacan el capítulo “Participa-
ción” de Persona y acción, y el escrito: Persona: sujeto y comunidad. No ofre-
ció, sin embargo, en ningún momento una visión sistemática de su pensa-
miento por lo que resulta complejo finar sus posiciones sobre estos temas.
El objetivo de este escrito es solventar esa carencia presentando de manera
sistemática su filosofía social y posibilitando también de este modo su va-
loración. Nuestro análisis ha detectado 8 puntos centrales a través de los
cuales expondremos su pensamiento: 1) Primacía de la persona; 2) Valor
personalista de la acción: participación y alienación; 3) Yo-tú: la dimensión
interpersonal de la comunidad; 4) El nosotros: la dimensión social de la co-
munidad; 5) Comunidad, sociedad y Communio personarum; 6) La persona
en la sociedad: individualismo, colectivismo y personalismo; 7) El bien co-
mún: la construcción conjunta de la persona y la comunidad; 8) Actitudes
ante el bien común. Por la extensión de este trabajo, el escrito se divide en
dos artículos. En el primero, se presentan los puntos 1 a 3, y en el segundo,
los 5 restantes. El conjunto de la investigación muestra de manera clara la
originalidad y potencia de esta reflexión, a pesar de cierta falta de sistema-
ticidad.
La consolidación de los estudios relacionados con el poder de las reinas medievales hace necesario plantear nuevos interrogantes que fortalezcan el conocimiento de sus funciones en las cortes de las ...monarquías europeas. Para poder comprender tanto la actuación que protagonizan durante el reinado de su marido como su propia identidad como reinas hay que conocer la conceptualización teórica de su papel como esposa del rey. Este artículo pretende analizar lo que supone el matrimonio como vínculo indisoluble entre los esposos y cómo afecta el significado de dicha unión a la hora de caracterizar a la reina. Gracias a la interpretación de los textos bíblicos en relación al matrimonio y su importancia en las fuentes legislativas castellanas se entenderá el papel que juega la reina como parte del cuerpo político de la monarquía.
