| Summary: | The Code of Canon Law identifies a number of participative structures at both the diocesan and parish level whose purpose is to assist diocesan bishops and parish priests in their duties. Despite this, recent events have shown that structures and procedures designed to ensure accountability were ineffectual or lacking altogether. After a brief consideration of the concept of accountability, this study will proceed to examine these various participative structures. The limitations of these structures and possibilities for reform will be identified, to assist the Church along its 'path of synodality'. Le Code de droit canonique identifie un certain nombre de structures participatives, tant au niveau diocésain que paroissial, dont le but est d’aider les évêques diocésains et les curés de paroisse dans leurs fonctions. Malgré cela, des événements récents ont montré que les structures et les procédures conçues pour assurer la responsabilité étaient inefficaces ou inexistantes. Après une brève considération du concept de responsabilité, cette étude se penchera sur ces diverses structures participatives. Les limites de ces structures et les possibilités de réforme seront identifiées, afin d’aider l’Église sur son «chemin de la synodalité». |
