| Summary: | The article deals with the question of the shape of the Church of the future by tracing a route with crossroads and outlining, in the wake of Vatican II, a process of Church conversion in four stages (with four theological criteria) that will enable tomorrow's Church to appear, the principal architect of which is the holy Spirit. The article puts forward four theological criteria: (1) 'pastorality'; (2) 'Gospel-inspired reform'; (3) ecumenism and mission; (4) 'charismatic and hierarchical gifts', rearranged by the experience of listening to the 'understanding of the faithful' in a synodal process. |
