Pastoral Activity in Irregular Situations According to the »Familiaris Consortio« (No. 79 - 84)

Autor u ovom radu obrađuje neredovite situacije prema Familiaris consortio br. 79-84: 1) brak na probu (FC 80); 2) stvarno slobodne veze (FC 81); 3) katolici vezani jedino građanskom ženidbom (FC 82); 4) rastavljene i razvedene osobe koje se nisu ponovno vjenčale (FC 83); 5) razvedeni i ponovno oženjeni (FC 84). U prvom poglavlju iznosi da neredovite situacije Crkvu stavljaju pred teške pastoralne probleme. Zadaća je Crkve nastojati što bolje upoznati takve situacije i njihove uzroke promatrajući svaki slučaj pojedinačno. Autor najviše prostora posvećuje razvedenima i ponovno oženjenim vjernicima. U drugom poglavlju osvrće se na Pismo Kongregacije za nauk vjere u kojem se govori o dušobrižništvu razvedenih i ponovno vjenčanih vjernika te o njihovu pripuštanju sakramentima ispovijedi i pričesti, što ujedno predstavlja i njezin odgovor na pastirska pisma i temeljne pastoralne upute biskupa Gornjorajnske crkvene pokrajine (Saier, Lehmann, Kasper). Iako postoje određene razlike između stavova spomenutih biskupa i Kongregacije za nauk vjere, nijedna strana ne dovodi u pitanje nerazrješivost sakramenta ženidbe. Razlike se odnose na mogućnost pripuštanja razvedenih i ponovno vjenčanih euharistjjskoj pričesti. U trećem poglavlju autor se dotiče neredovitih situacija u hrvatskoj Crkvi iznoseći statističke podatke o sklopljenim i razvedenim brakovima u Hrvatskoj za razdoblje od 1991. do 1997. godine. Na temelju tih činjenica sugerira pastoralno djelovanje u neredovitim situacijama, ne kao izolirani pastoral nego u kontekstu općeg dušobrižništva braka i obitelji, uključujući diferencirani pastoral.In this article the author elaborates on irregular situations according to the Familiaris consortio no. 79 - 84: 1) Experimental marriage (FC 80) 2) Truly free relationships 3) Catholics connected by civil marriage only 4) Persons who are separated and divorced and not married again 5) Persons divorced and remarried In the first chapter the author talks about irregular situations that present the Church with difficult pastoral problems. The duty of Church is to try, as much as possible, to become acquainted with these situations, and their causes, looking at each case individually. Author gives the most space to divorced and remarried believers. The second chapter considers the Epistle of doctrine congregation, in which the cure of souls of divorced and remarried believers is discussed. Also discussed is their admission to the sacraments of confession and communion, which represent, at the same time, their answer to the shepherds\u27 epistles and the fundamental instructions of the bishop\u27s of the Upper Rajna district (Saier, Lehman, Kasper). Although there are some differences between the attitudes of the above mentioned bishops and the Congregation of religious teachings, neither of them raises the question of insolubility of the marriage sacrament. The differences concern the possibility of admission of the divorced and remarried to the Eucharistic communion. In the third chapter, author touches on irregular situations within the Croatian Church, showing statistical data about marriage and divorce in Croatia for the period between 1991 and 1997. On the basis of these figures he suggests pastoral action to be taken in irregular situations, not as an isolated pastoral, but in the context of general cure of souls within marriage and family, including differentiated pastoral
