But the real macro issue is the role of Vatican II and its ecclesiology for the reform of church structures. Francis’s pontificate seems to be, on many levels, a return to the intent of Vatican II. The challenge is to choose the inspiring criterion that should inform the reform. In the first post-Vatican II period the criterion had been mostly a Weberian “legal-rational” rearrangement of the dicasteries and their procedures, leaving the ecclesiology of Vatican II as an ex-post-justification of the new architecture. |
