삼위일체 친교의 예표로서의 친교적 교회론과 친교의 교회적 실천으로서의 시노달리타스

Abstract

The modern era has seen a fundamental shift in the way we think about individuals and communities, with globalized social communications permeating every aspect of human life. Despite the omnipresence of social media in our lives, many people suffer from interpersonal disorders caused by social isolation and lack of relationship. In order to restore a sense of human relation and community, we see it as our mission to implement the “ecclesiology of communion” that led to the Second Vatican Council. I think it is the theme of the 16th Synod, “Synodality,” that spurred the slow improvement in ecclesiology of communion after the Council. In order to fulfill this Synod, it is necessary to reflect on the Council's ecclesiology of communion. Therefore, chapter 1 will first examine the communion of the Three Divine Persons through the concept of perichoresis, and then the communion of God with humanity and the communion among human beings. Chapter 2 explores the concept of the “communion of the churches” through two themes, by rereading the Council documents that provided the theological foundation for the church to begin anew, as K. Rahner said it. The first theme, “hierarchical communion” (communio hierarchica) from Lumen Gentium chapter 3, presents the relationship between the Roman Pontiff and the Apostolic College, thus becoming a symbol in the Church's communion theory. The second theme will consider how the pneumatology of Lumen Gentium provides the theological basis for the people of God to move together toward a “Communion of the church”. The final chapter considers the Synodality proposed by the 16th Synod as an opportunity for the people of God to experience and embody communion, the very essence of the Church. This embodiment takes places through the inductive and cyclic process of the Synod and in order to realize an ecclesiology of communion.
