RECEPTION OF THE SECOND VATICAN COUNCIL

U ovom radu autor istražuje pojam recepcije , njegovo pojavljivanje u teologiji u kontekstu promišljanja o II. vatikanskom saboru te razvitak teologije recepcije u posaborskom vremenu. Sabor se shvaća k ao događaj, k ao nove Duhove. Može ga se cjelovito tumačiti samo u svjetlu nakana i ciljeva koje je postavio papa Ivan XXIII. Recepcija II. vatikanskog sabora, koja se oslanja na komunionalnu viziju Crkve, označava slojevit polagan proces usvajanja saborskog nauka i njegova ostvarenja u praksi u svim područjima crkvenog života. Ostvarenje recepcije, koje ovisi ne samo o nutarnjoj dinamici rasta nego i o izvanjskim uzrocima, izmiče egzaktnoj analizi. Recepcija se od početka odvija “različitim oblicima i na različite načine” (UR 14), što se pokazuje u životu mjesne Cr k ve, ovisno u nutar njoj dinamici vjere te životnim prilikama i okruženju u kojem se ona nalazi. Stoga valja govoriti o različitim stupnjevima ostvarenosti Sabora ne samo glede pojedinih mjesnih Crkava već i u pogledu prihvaćenosti pojedinih sadr žaja. Potpuna recepcija znači pr ihvaćanje ne samo slova nego i duha Sabora, kad nauk Sabora prožme i obnovi sve vidove crkvenog života.In this work the author investigates the idea of reception, its emergence in theology in the context of II Vatican Council, and also the development of theology of reception in the post-council time. The Council is understood as a happening, as new Whitsuntide. It can be completely explained only in the light of the intentions and aims set by Pope John XXIII. Reception of the Second Vatican Council, which draws on the communion vision of the Church, stands for a multilayered, slow process of adoption of the Council’s teaching and its realisation in practice in all the spheres of church life. Realisation of that reception, which depends not only on the internal dynamics of growth but also on the external reasons, eludes the exact analysis. From the beginning, reception has been developing “in different forms and in different ways” (UR 14), which is evident in the life of local Church, depending on the internal dynamics of faith, life circumstances and social environment in which it exists. Therefore, we should talk about different levels of actualisation of the Council, not only with regard to particular local Churches but also with regard to the adoption of particular contents. Complete reception is not only the reception of the letter but also of the spirit of the Council, i.e. when the teaching of the Council permeates and restores all the spheres of church life
