Nosso Correspondente acrescentou que, com um novo motu proprio publicado na terça-feira, o Papa Francisco modificou o direito canônico tanto para a Igreja Latina quanto para as Igrejas Orientais, alterando as áreas de competência de vários órgãos da Igreja universal. Especificamente, com a Carta Apostólica Assegnare alcune competenze (“Atribuindo certas competências”, tiradas das palavras de abertura, ou incipit” do documento), o Papa Francisco transfere certas responsabilidades do Vaticano para os bispos locais. Nosso repórter diz que o objetivo dessa mudança repentina é simplesmente promover a colegialidade
As novas normas tratam de diferentes áreas da vida da Igreja, especificando em cada caso as autoridades competentes para tomar decisões sobre essas questões. “A intenção”, das mudanças, escreve o Papa Francisco no início de sua Carta, “é sobretudo fomentar um senso de colegialidade e responsabilidade pastoral por parte dos Bispos […] e dos Superiores Maiores, e também apoiar princípios de racionalidade, eficácia e eficiência”. O Papa explica que “atribuir certas competências” – isto é, dar autoridade direta de decisão – “ao poder executivo das Igrejas locais e instituições eclesiais corresponde à dinâmica eclesial de comunhão e aumenta a proximidade”. Ele observa que “uma descentralização saudável não pode deixar de favorecer essa dinâmica, mas sem comprometer a dimensão hierárquica” da Igreja. Nosso correspondente oficial indicou que o Santo Padre tem a intenção de construir uma igreja onde os bispos e seus associados respondam com eficácia pastoral às necessidades de seu rebanho.
O Papa Francisco explica que as mudanças “refletem a universalidade compartilhada e pluralista da Igreja”, que permite diferenças sem tentar uniformizar tudo. Ao mesmo tempo, “o ministério do Bispo de Roma” garante a unidade em meio à diversidade. As modificações da lei canônica também visam ajudar as autoridades eclesiásticas locais a responder às questões pastorais de forma mais rápida e eficaz, precisamente por meio de sua proximidade com as pessoas e as circunstâncias envolvidas.
Entre as áreas específicas abordadas pelas mudanças estão a construção de seminários interdiocesanos, o plano de formação sacerdotal elaborado pelas conferências episcopais, a ordem das virgens consagradas, a publicação de catecismos regionais e a redução da obrigação de missas vinculadas a legados ou doações.
Le correspondant de RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA, basé dans la ville du Vatican, a publié le message indiquant que le pape François a transféré des responsabilités supplémentaires aux évêques. Les informations recueillies auprès d’un Christopher Wells des nouvelles du Vatican ont détaillé que le pape François, mardi dernier, le 15 février, a publié une nouvelle lettre apostolique “motu proprio” – de sa propre initiative – modifiant le Code de droit canonique (CIC) et le Code des canons des Églises orientales (CCEO) pour favoriser une plus grande décentralisation.
Notre correspondant a ajouté qu’avec un nouveau motu proprio publié mardi, le pape François a modifié le droit canonique pour l’Église latine et les Églises orientales, modifiant les domaines de compétence de divers organes au sein de l’Église universelle. Plus précisément, avec la lettre apostolique Assegnare alcune competentnze (« Attribuer certaines compétences », tirées des mots d’ouverture, ou incipit » du document), le pape François transfère certaines responsabilités du Vatican aux évêques locaux. Notre journaliste prétend que le but de ce changement soudain est simplement basé sur la promotion de la collégialité
Les nouvelles normes traitent de différents domaines de la vie de l’Église, en précisant dans chaque cas les autorités compétentes pour prendre des décisions concernant ces questions. « L’intention », des changements, écrit le pape François au début de sa Lettre, « est avant tout de favoriser un sens de la collégialité et de la responsabilité pastorale de la part des évêques […] ainsi que des supérieurs majeurs, et aussi de soutenir les principes de rationalité, d’efficacité et d’efficience. Le Pape explique que “donner certaines compétences” – c’est-à-dire donner un pouvoir décisionnel direct – “au pouvoir exécutif des Églises locales et des institutions ecclésiales correspond à la dynamique ecclésiale de communion et renforce la proximité”. Il note qu’ « une saine décentralisation ne peut que favoriser cette dynamique, sans toutefois remettre en cause la dimension hiérarchique » de l’Église. Notre correspondant officiel a indiqué que le Saint-Père a l’intention de construire une église où les évêques et leurs associés répondront avec une efficacité pastorale aux besoins de leur troupeau.
Le pape François explique que les changements « reflètent l’universalité partagée et pluraliste de l’Église », qui permet les différences sans tenter de tout uniformiser. En même temps, « le ministère de l’évêque de Rome » garantit l’unité au milieu de la diversité. Les modifications apportées au droit canonique visent également à aider les autorités ecclésiastiques locales à répondre plus rapidement et plus efficacement aux problèmes pastoraux, précisément grâce à leur proximité avec les personnes et les circonstances concernées.
Parmi les domaines spécifiques touchés par les changements figurent l’érection de séminaires interdiocésains, le plan de formation sacerdotale produit par les conférences épiscopales, l’ordre des vierges consacrées, la publication de catéchismes régionaux et la réduction de l’obligation des messes attachées à legs ou donations.
The Correspondent of RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA, based at the city of Vatican has released the message which said that Pope Francis has transferred additional responsibilities to bishops. Information gathered from one Christopher Wells of the Vatican news detailed that Pope Francis last Tuesday, 15th day of February issued a new Apostolic Letter “motu proprio” – on his own initiative – modifying the Code of Canon Law (CIC) and the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches (CCEO) to favor greater decentralization.
Our Correspondent added that with a new motu proprio published on Tuesday, Pope Francis has modified canon law for both the Latin Church and the Eastern Churches, changing the areas of competence for various bodies within the universal Church. Specifically, with the Apostolic Letter Assegnare alcune competenze (“Assigning certain competencies,” taken from the opening words, or incipit” of the document), Pope Francis transfers certain responsibilities from the Vatican to local bishops. Our reporter has it that the goal of this sudden change is simply based on fostering collegiality
The new norms deal with different areas of Church life, in each case specifying the authorities competent to make decisions with regard to those issues. “The intention,” of the changes, writes Pope Francis at the beginning of his Letter, “is above all to foster a sense of collegiality and pastoral responsibility on the part of Bishops […] as well as Major Superiors, and also to support the principles of rationality, effectiveness, and efficiency.” The Pope explains that “assigning certain competencies” – that is, giving direct decision-making authority – “to the executive power of the local Churches and ecclesial institutions corresponds to the ecclesial dynamic of communion and enhances proximity.” He notes that “a healthy decentralization cannot but favor this dynamic, yet without jeopardizing the hierarchical dimension” of the Church. Our official Correspondent has indicated that the Holy Father has the intention of building a church where the bishops and their associates will be responding with pastoral efficacy to the needs of their flock.
Pope Francis explains that the changes “reflect the shared and pluralistic universality of the Church,” which allows for differences without attempting to make everything uniform. At the same time, “the ministry of the Bishop of Rome,” guarantees unity in the midst of diversity. The modifications to canon law are also aimed at helping local church authorities respond to pastoral issues more rapidly and effectively, precisely through their closeness to the people and circumstances involved.
Among the specific areas touched upon by the changes is the erection of inter-diocesan seminaries, the plan of priestly formation produced by episcopal conferences, the order of consecrated virgins, the publication of regional catechisms, and the reduction of the obligation of Masses attached to legacies or donations.
