| Summary: | In view of Pope Francis’ call for a 'pastoral conversion' of ecclesiastical structures in Evangelii Gaudium, 27, this study reflects on how this is being implemented with various ecclesiastical structures at the universal, supra-diocesan, and diocesan levels. Specifically, the study examines the renewal of ecclesiastical structures through the lens of three examples: the reform of the Roman Curia (at the universal level); the modifications introduced into the procedures for the declaration of marriage nullity by means of the motu proprio Mitis Iudex (the diocesan level); and the renewed impetus of the authority exercised by conferences of bishops (supra-diocesan or regional level). Au vu de l’appel du pape François dans Evangelii Gaudium, 27, pour une 'conversion pastorale' des structures ecclésiastiques, cette étude est une réflexion sur les moyens par lesquels cet appel est mis en œuvre dans ces structures aux niveaux universel, supra-diocésain et diocésain. Plus précisément, l’étude examine le renouveau de structures ecclésiastiques sous l’angle de trois exemples: la réforme de la Curie romaine (au niveau universel); les modifications apportées aux procédures pour la déclaration de nullité d’un mariage par le motu proprio Mitis Iudex (au niveau diocésain); et l’élan renouvelé de l’autorité exercée par les conférences épiscopales (au niveau supra-diocésain ou régional). |
