신앙·성사·교계 안에서 교회와 친교 보존

Abstract

With Post-Corona, Christians are not bound to the church, and the physical communion that takes place in the space of the church has sharply declined, so that it seems that a crisis has come to the life of faith. In addition, it was revealed that Catholics lacked a sense of belonging and ownership to the church compared to other religions, and were passive in the request of the sacraments and in determining of the time of the liturgy. To overcome this situation, the understanding of the communion of the church must be deepened. In keeping with the trend of the times, therefore, more active research should be conducted on it. This article examines the church of communion emphasized in the second Vatican Council from the point of view of the bond of sacraments, of governance(hierarchical system), and of faith. In order to understand the 1983 code of law legislated on this basis, as a preliminary work, I studied the legislative process of the provisions related to the communion of the 1917 code and the preservation of the communion contained in the 1983 code. In addition to the results derived from this, I reviewed legal regulations related to the three bonds of communion contained in the provisions of the 1983 code. And the mutual relationship between the three bonds was also studied. As a result, it could be seen that the canonical communion regulations, which may be curtailed due to legal restrictions, reflect very deeply the theological insights of the Council. In addition, through the joint application of these provisions, the possibility of a new expansion of the three bonds of communion within the entire people of God was suggested. To make this possible, ‘sacramental communion’ must break down barriers that hinder the unity of all Christians and should be the basis of all communion. And ‘communion of governance’ should be understood and applied as ‘communion of hierarchial service’ in the spirit of the Council and in the light of the Gospel. Beginning with God, the “communion of faith” of all Christian churches made possible by the Holy Spirit overcomes the differences in the doctrines of each religious denomination, and the contact point of hierarchical communion can be confirmed and strengthened in the sacramental communion. It is expected that the communion of the people of God as a whole will be more fulfilled if the canonical regulations covered in this study are reflected and applied within the mutual relationship of the three communion described above.
