| Summary: | The Catholic Church accepted the ecumenical movement at the Second Vatican Council, whose ground-breaking document in this respect was the Decree on ecumenism Unitatis redintegratio (1964). The canonical norms of post-conciliar codes and ecumenical directories receive and expand on the issues hinted at by the Council. However, canon law is often seen as a brake in ecumenical efforts and initiatives. Nevertheless, canon law is based on theological premises given by the teaching of the Church; therefore, it cannot go beyond the limits of the Catholic tradition and the partial success of the common ecumenical dialogue. The article concentrates on two issues which can be overcome only with great difficulty. The first is the institution of the papacy whose concept is unacceptable both for the non-Catholic Eastern Churches as well as the Churches coming out of the Reformation, in spite of the good reputation the individual popes have gained in their communities lately. Another obstacle is the limited possibility of sacramental intercommunion. The Catholic canon law opens up the possibility to access the sacrament of reconciliation, the Eucharist and the anointing of the sick to the non-Catholic Eastern Churches. The Reformation-based Churches, however, understand the sacraments in a very different way, therefore the regulation of canon law in this respect remains quite restrictive. The article also presents the particular legal regulation of the sacramental intercommunion issued by the Czech Bishops’ Conference. The conclusion of the article focuses on the need of inner unity within the Catholic Church itself and mentions also the efforts to integrate the Fraternity of St. Pius X into the structures of the Church. L’Église catholique a accepté le mouvement oecuménique durant le Concile Vatican II dont le document capital était le Décret sur l’oecuménisme Unitatis redintegratio (1964). Les normes canoniques des codes postconciliaires et des directoires oecuméniques constituent le développement des objectifs indiqués par le Concile. Pourtant, le droit canonique est souvent perçu comme un obstacle empêchant les démarches et initiatives oecuméniques. Malgré cela, le droit canonique s’appuie sur les prémisses théologiques découlant de l’enseignement de l’Église, à cause de quoi il ne peut pas outrepasser les limites indiquées par la tradition catholique et, par voie de conséquence, le succès du dialogue oecuménique commun ne peut qu’être partiel. L’article se concentre sur deux obstacles que l’on peut surmonter uniquement avec une grande peine. Le premier résulte de la conception du poste papal non accepté aussi bien par les Églises non catholiques orientales que par les Églises réformées, malgré la bonne opinion dont jouissent dans les dernières années les successeurs subséquents du Saint Pierre dans ces communautés religieuses. Le second obstacle résulte des possibilités limitées de l’intercommunion sacramentelle. Le droit canonique catholique donne aux fidèles appartenant aux Églises non catholiques orientales la possibilité d’accéder au sacrement de réconciliation, de l’Eucharistie et de l’onction des malades. Toutefois, les Églises protestantes comprennent autrement la notion même de sacrement, donc le droit canonique doit être plus restrictif dans cette matière. Dans l’article, on a présenté également des réglementations juridiques concrètes de l’intercommunion sacramentelle proposées par l’Épiscopat tchèque. Les conclusions finales de l’article se concentrent sur le besoin de l’unité dans l’Église catholique même, tout en mentionnant les efforts visant à intégrer à l’Église la Fraternité sacerdotale Saint-Pie-X. Durante il Concilio Vaticano II la Chiesa cattolica accettò il movimento ecumenico il cui documento emblematico fu il Decreto sull’ecumenismo Unitatis redintegratio (1964). Le norme canoniche dei codici post-conciliari e dei direttòri ecumenici costituiscono lo sviluppo degli orientamenti indicati dal Concilio. Ciò nonostante il diritto canonico viene spesso percepito come un ostacolo agli sforzi ed alle iniziative ecumeniche. Malgrado ciò il diritto canonico si basa sulle premesse teologiche risultanti dal magistero della Chiesa, per cui non può oltrepassare i confini delimitati dalla tradizione cattolica ed il successo del dialogo ecumenico comune può essere solo parziale. L’articolo è focalizzato su due ostacoli che possono essere superati solamente con grande sforzo. Il primo risulta dalla concezione del papato non accettato sia dalle chiese non cattoliche di rito orientale, sia dalle chiese riformate, nonostante la buona opinione di cui godono negli ultimi tempi i diversi successori di san Pietro in quelle comunità religiose. Il secondo ostacolo risulta dalla possibilità limitata dell’intercomunione sacramentale. Il diritto canonico cattolico apre la possibilità di accesso al sacramento della riconciliazione, dell’Eucarestia e dell’unzione degli infermi ai fedeli non cattolici delle chiese di rito orientale. Tuttavia le chiese riformate comprendono diversamente il concetto stesso di sacramento, pertanto il diritto canonico in tal merito deve essere più restrittivo. Nell’articolo sono state presentate anche norme giuridiche concrete dell’intercomunione sacramentale, proposte dall’Episcopato ceco. Le conclusioni finali dell’articolo si concentrano sulla necessità di unità nella Chiesa cattolica stessa, ricordando gli sforzi volti all’integrazione della Fraternità Sacerdotale San Pio X nella Chiesa. |
