PASTORAL DIRECTIONS IN DEALING WITH DIVORCED AND CIVILLY REMARRIED. AN INVITATION FOR A DIACONICAL ACTIVITY

U ovom radu riječ je o vrlo složenoj problematici konkretnog pastoralnog rada i ophođenja s osobama koje su doživjele neuspjeh u crkveno valjano sklopljenom braku, te su se nakon rastave i razvoda ponovno civilno vjenčale. O tome se u teološkim krugovima mnogo raspravlja i pokušava pronaći prihvatljiva rješenja, napose u kontekstu crkvene prakse, odnosno stege glede nepripuštanja osoba u drugom civilnom braku sakramentima pokore i euharistije. Ovaj rad polazi od toga da je stav Crkve s obzirom na nepripuštanje sakramentima za osobe u drugom, civilno sklopljenom braku, jasan,te se ovdje ne želi upuštati u tu diskusiju nego se želi ukazati na konkretne pastoralne mogućnosti jednog sustavnijeg rada s rastavljenima, razvedenima te ponovno civilno vjenčanim osobama. Ovdje se, dakle, ne radi prvenstveno o pitanju pastorala sakramenata nego o dijakoniji, odnosno o pomoći i služenju onima koji se nakon rastave i razvoda nalaze u teškoj životnoj situaciji. Pri tome se crkvenim djelatnicima, napose župnicima, predlaže uvid u situaciju s obzirom na broj i konkretnu životnu i vjersku situaciju takvih vjernika, te nastojanje da se s tim vjernicima stupi u kontakt i da ih se pokuša, koliko to pastoralne mogućnosti dopuštaju, integrirati u život crkvenih zajednica.The article deals with the complex issue of the actual pastoral work and behaviour towards persons that experienced a failure of a valid Church marriage, and got remarried civilly. Theology discusses the problem, searching for acceptable solutions, especially in the context of the church practice, i.e. discipline regarding the persons in a second civil marriage and their non-admission to sacraments of confession and eucharist. This article considers the standpoint of the Church a clear direction, and does not discuss this issue, but searches for concrete pastoral possibilities of a systematic work with the separated, divorced and civilly remarried persons. The question is not the pastoral of sacraments, but the diakonia: the help and the service to those who subsequently to a divorce go through a difficult life situation. Workers and employees of the Church, parish vicars, are acquainted with the situation, especially regarding the number and the circumstances of life of interested believers; finally, the article attempts to outline a communication with those believers and a possible integration in the life of the church community, in accordance with the pastoral possibilities
