 Ilia Delio, O.S.F., of the Franciscan Sisters of Washington, D.C., is professor and chair of the department of spirituality studies at Washington Theological Union.

”Religious life among women is undergoing a massive evolutionary change that can only be described as cataclysmic. The Vatican’s apostolic visitation of congregations of women religious in the United States and the recent investigation of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious indicate that Rome is unhappy with so-called post-Vatican II nuns who have donned secular clothes and abandoned traditional community life.”

Ilia Delio hänvisar till Timothy Radcliffe, O.P. som pekar på 2 olika teologier

”They fall under what Father Radcliffe identifies as the Concilium group, who focus on the Incarnation as the central point of renewal. Members of the Conference of Major Superiors, by contrast, are Communio Catholics, who emphasize communion through proclamation of the faith, a clear Catholic identity and the centrality of the cross.”

Ilia Delio hänvisar också till Teilhard de Chardins tankegångar.

“As Teilhard noted, suffering and sacrifice are part of the evolutionary process. Isolated structures must give way to more complex unions. To live with an evolutionary spirit is to let go of old structures and to engage new structures when the right time comes. The new heaven and earth promised by God will not come about by cutting ourselves off from the world or forming Catholic ghettos. It will not unfold through the triumph of ecclesiastical power. It will come about as we follow the footprints of the crucified one, descending into the darkness of humanity and rising in the power of love. This is the path to a new creation symbolized by Christ.

We believe that what happened between God and the world in Christ points to the future of the cosmos. That future involves a radical transformation of created reality through the unitive power of God’s love. To be a Christbearer is to focus on the inner depth of love. It is love that puts flesh on the face of God, love that makes Christ alive; love is the power of the future and the unfolding of Christ. History will not remember what we wore, where we lived or how we prayed, whether as Concilium or Communio Catholics. In the evening of life we all shall be judged on love alone.”

PS  ”Communio eller Concilio” ?

Traditionalisterna som krampaktigt klamrar sig fast vid allt  YTTRE som de anser så oerhört väsentligt. 

 Vi andra som inte tycker det är det väsentligaste i livet.

Och Teilhard de Chardin som menar att det inte spelar någon roll vilken gruppering vi tillhört i livet. 

Communio eller Concilio?  

Spelar ingen roll. 

Till syvende och sist är den kärlek som ”LEVANDEGJORT KRISTUS” det enda som kommer att räknas .

“In the evening of life we all shall be judged on love alone.”

En liten tankeställare för oss alla.
