Preti per la comunità cristiana

Lettura ecclesiologica del ministero presbiterale

Abstract

Based on the turning made by the Vatican II, on the level of the ecclesiological doctrine and of the ordained ministry, this article proposes to read the ministry of the priest in the horizon of a Church seen as people of God in the form of the body of Christ. The advantage is to consider it in its structural relationship to Christ and the Church, in a way that makes clear reference to Christ also for the other ecclesial subjects, and to show the sense of it in the context of its constitutive relation to them.
