Jeg har den siste tiden lest mye interessant om kardinal Kasper, lederen for den katolske kirkes \u00f8kumeniske arbeid. En artikkelen p\u00e5 nettstedet www.chiesa<\/strong> snakker en del om hvor viktig har er i Vatikanet og hvordan han arbeider sammen med pave Benedikt. Les gjerne hele artikkelen he<\/a>r:<\/p>\n

Denne artikkelen nevner ogs\u00e5 noe Kasper sa uken f\u00f8r han ‘advarte’ anglikanerne om hva de er i ferd med \u00e5 gj\u00f8re for \u00f8kumenikken – se min melding om det. 31. mai snakket han en hel del om \u00f8kumeniske sp\u00f8rsm\u00e5l i Roma, og sa bl.a. at noen former for «ideologisk \u00f8kumenikk, \u00f8nsker \u00e5 overse forskjellene, og \u00f8nsker enhet for enhver pris, basert p\u00e5 en sv\u00e6rt liten grad av oppn\u00e5dd enighet. Sann \u00f8kumenikk finner man i sannhet og kj\u00e6rlighet, og i dag ser vi her fem viktige forskjeller i forhold til tidligere ti\u00e5r:»<\/p>\n

The first change<\/strong>, which Kasper describes as \u201cvery positive,\u201d concerns the Churches of the East. Theological dialogue has been resumed over what unites East and West \u2013 the sacraments and the episcopal and priestly ministry \u2013 and over what divides them \u2013 the role of the pope \u2013 \u201cbut in the meantime we can cooperate in Europe, the most secularized continent, in order to rediscover Christian roots and strengthen Christian values, and in this way we can participate in a truly historic task.\u201d<\/p>\n

The second change<\/strong> concerns the historical Protestant Churches: Lutheran, Reformed, Anglican. Kasper is much more pessimistic on this point. In the area of theology, \u201cthey have developed a concept of unity that constantly draws farther away from Catholic ecclesiology.\u201d But the most serious distancing concerns \u201cthe internal fragmentation of some ecclesial communities, in particular the Anglican communion, and their loss of substance above all in the field of ethics, especially on questions of life and the family.\u201d<\/p>\n

But there is an opposite current within Protestantism, and this is the third change<\/strong> mentioned by Kasper. \u201cThere are groups, fraternities, evangelical movements that want to live the Gospel and are grateful for the Catholic Church\u2019s firm attitude toward ethical questions. They often form a spiritual network and are linked with groups, spiritual movements, and congregations of a traditional character in the Catholic Church.\u201d<\/p>\n

The fourth change<\/strong> is that \u201cwe have begun a fairly substantial dialogue with the Pentecostals, who with more than 500 million adherents are now the second-largest Christian confession after the Catholic Church, and are especially present in the southern hemisphere, in Latin America, Asia, and Africa. They are showing enormous growth, and some are even speaking of the Christianity of the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally there is a fifth change<\/strong>, which Kasper maintains is \u201cthe most important and demanding, above all in Europe.\u201d It concerns \u201cpost-denominational and post-secular men and women going through an interior spiritual quest, who desire a form of Christian unity that transcends the individual confessions.\u201d<\/p>\n

These men and women are not interested in the ecumenism associated with the specialists and the theological controversies that go along with it. \u201cMany of them are nevertheless open to a message or, better, to a fundamental and central Christian witness, expressed in accessible words that they can understand. In this sense many people, and not just Catholics, have understood well the encyclical \u2018Deus Caritas Est.\u2019 Here we find ourselves at the beginning of a new ecumenism that is intimately linked to a new evangelization.\u201d <\/i><\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
