Smygöppning för kvinnliga diakoner i nytt Motu proprio ?

Små förändringar i kanoniska lagen med kanske stora konsekvenser  ?

I de nya formuleringarna i kanoniska lagen  betonas att endast präster och biskopar verkar ”in persona Christi”. Dvs endast präster och biskopar verkar fortsättningsvis i  Gudsmannen Jesu ställe.

När det gäller diakoner betonas andra aspekter. Tex att  tjäna Gudsfolket men tydligen bara utifrån sin egen person. Det lämnar ju fältet fritt………..

“The current Code of Canon Law, promulgated by Pope John Paul II in 1984, spoke of three grades of the sacrament of orders — the episcopate, the presbyterate and the diaconate — by which ministers fulfill ”the functions of teaching, sanctifying and governing,” each according to his grade.

The new wording introduced by Pope Benedict mirrors the explanation of the roles of the church’s ordained ministers presented in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which says that the task of governing on behalf of Christ, the head of the church, is proper only to bishops and priests.

The new version adds the phrase: ”Those who are constituted in the order of the episcopate or the presbyterate receive the mission and faculty to act in the person of Christ the head, while deacons are enabled to serve the people of God in the diaconate of the liturgy, the word and charity.”
