O Concílio Vaticano II e sua recepção na Europa

 

Abstract


O artigo analisa em uma perspectiva socio-religiosa a recepcao do Vaticano II na Europa. Descreve o contexto daquela epoca, narra como foi o primeiro pos-Concilio e a virada que ocorreu nos anos 80-90, quando as consequencias nao previstas da mutacao conciliar provocaram a chamada “contra-reforma” comandada pela Curia romana. Conclui assim: o Concilio Vaticano II, “como processo da Igreja ‘semper reformanda’, teve na Europa uma recepcao parcial, mas real, que ainda inspira leigos catolicos, religiosas e religiosos, sacerdotes e bispos, a espera, talvez, de outro Concilio, mas nao demasiadamente cedo, para que seja realmente um novo nascimento”.Abstract: The article analyses the European reaction to the Vatican II in a socio-religious perspective. It describes the international context at the time, the first post-Council period and the turnabout that happened in the 80s and 90s, when the unforeseen consequences of the Council changes led to the so-called “counter-reform” headed by the Roman Curia. He concludes by suggesting that the Vatican II Council, “as a process of the ‘semper reformanda’Church, had a partial but genuine reception in Europe and this still inspires Catholic laypeople, nuns, priests and bishops who are hoping, perhaps, for another Council: a Council that will not come too soon so that it can really mean a new birth”.
