El celibato obligatorio “no es un dogma de fe y puede ser discutido porque es una tradición eclesiástica”. Así lo asegura el recién nombrado Secretario de Estado del Vaticano, Pietro Parolin, actual Nuncio Apostólico en Venezuela.
Las nuevas reformas que la Iglesia va a emprender y de las que
participará activamente Parolin, por la importancia de su cargo, deberán
llevar, según él, el sello de ese “espíritu democrático”, en vez de ser
tomadas, como en el pasado, en el silencio de los palacios apostólicos,
sin escuchar la voz de la Iglesia universal. Serán decisiones colegiales, confirmadas después por el papa.
Comments on celibacy and democracy in the church by Italian
Archbishop Pietro Parolin, whom Pope Francis named as the Vatican's new
Secretary of State on Aug. 31, are raising eyebrows today, with some
wondering if they herald looming changes in Catholic teaching and
practice.
In truth, Parolin's comments represent what might be termed the
standard moderate Catholic line – priestly celibacy is a discipline, not
a dogma, and can therefore be revised, but it nonetheless has value,
and the church is not a democracy but it can and should be more collegial.
Aren't there two types of dogmas? Aren't there unmovable
dogmas that were instituted by Jesus and then there are those that came
afterwards, during the course of the church's history, created by men
and therefore susceptible to change?
Certainly. There are dogmas that are defined and untouchable.
Celibacy is not --
It is not a church dogma and it can be discussed because it is a church tradition.
