Homens e mulheres engajados na Igreja

Résumé

Sumário: A reflexão teológica e a discussão pastoral permitem ao autor ampliar
o tema sobre a Igreja e sua organização hierárquica, abordando questões
institucionais à luz dos questionamentos atuais. O primeiro capítulo trata do
culto sacrifical a cargo dos presbíteros, como característica da Igreja católica.
O segundo aborda a função diretiva exercida na Igreja por homens e mulheres.
O terceiro analisa o papel da mulher na “Igreja doméstica” como educadora da
fé na família, onde as tarefas de esposa e mãe estão intimamente
correlacionadas. O quarto focaliza a educação dos filhos no lar como escola de
enriquecimento humano em termos de valores e vivências que serão marcantes
na vida e na religiosidade.

Abstract: Theological reflection and the insights gained from revised policies
and plants for promoting good and undoing evil both in the Church’s pastoral
activities and in the endeavors of the State result in a feedback to consider the
Church as an institution and its hierarchical structure. This approach provides a
starting point to discuss constructively institutional elements in response to
questions that are being raised today. Firstly being dealt with is the sacrificial
cult which in the Catholic Church is performed properly by ordained priests.
Secondly, the vision is focused on the directive function of the local Church
handed over to both men and women. Thirdly, the subject under consideration
is the women’s role as teachers of faith in the family, known as a domestic
Church, where the tasks as wife and mother are closely correlated. Fourthly,
the subject taken into account is the formation of the children in the family as a
school of human development with all relevant stages of growth of character
and religious conviction under the existing conditions for the attainment of ends.
