with great sadness that I read in various media that the group called "Esglesia plural" intends to use the Pope's visit to Barcelona to launch "campaigns and actions" intended to question his Petrine ministry. "receive the Pope with a prayer to lose power," reported today the Journal of Catalonia. In other words, pray to Jesus Christ reconsider the words he said to Peter, "You are Peter ... I'll give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven ..." (Mt 16, 16-18). And, they say, the papacy "is not an immutable and unquestionable"; other words, that the Lord "spent four people" to say that the Church would stand forever, on stone the first among the apostles.
So much bothered by the Pope to " Esglesia " said to be plural? Where is therefore the plurality of this group? "In its absolute singularity, no originality? Because their arguments to justify their " kick" to the Pope's visit to the beautiful city of Barcelona are so very stale, repeated ad nauseam and "super-duper -heard," I do not understand how not to get tired . If the hierarchical structure of the Church has been the result of the evolution of history, that if the Pope is too old, that if there is to democratize the Church ... always the same questions! Not much progress they are called liberals.
"Esglesia plural. " Or plural, they do not admit anyone who does not think like them, or church, because the former do not support is the Pope. And we do not accuse others of "demonize, prosecute and warned to leave the Church," it is they who exclude.
"The Church is plural? Of course. I am the first to apply this adjective, but not forgetting the four adjectives that precede it, because otherwise, you're not substantive. If the Church is not a , holy , Catholic and apostolic , would also not plural because it simply would not have church.
The Church is one, holy, catholic, apostolic ... and plural. Okay. Because in the one Church that Christ founded - santa, therefore - that is guided by the Successor of Peter and extends around the world - Catholic - retaining the same and full faith of the apostles, there is much pluralism: an untold diversity of gifts, vocations and ministries that converge in a substantive, inseparable from that of Church communion. Thus and only thus, the diversity is not opposed to the concept of Church. The Church is communion and unity, holiness, Catholic, Apostolic and with them, its plurality, converge in the Communion (With God and among its members).
Now if the word "plural" is Demolition Hammer become the unity of the Church (unity in faith, celebration and moral) and communion around the Successor of Peter, we Church ran out, turned into a group of friends that anything goes. And that's not what Christ founded.
The pope is the guarantor of both the unity and the diversity, because his ministry is to serve Communion. Unity in diversity. Therefore, plural, but when stored - and strengthen - the unity and communion. The Church is Christ's, not mine nor yours, nor the Pope can not change anything that Christ made clear.
there can be no Communion Church. Without communion with the Successor of Peter, I can be called plural everything you want, but I ran out of (the) noun: being Church. I do not exclude anyone, I exclude myself.
Fortunately, as stated a few days ago, Cardinal Martinez Sistach, it is expected that the visit is a success, with massive celebrations that will show once more the unity and plurality of the Church. The plurality ecclesial vocations, ministries and charisms be with the Pope. In parallel acts who will?
