New church movements Theological-pastoral analysis

U ovom radu autor progovara o novim crkvenim pokretima s temeljnom nakanom kako ih teološki i pastoralno shvatiti i uključiti ih u život i poslanje Crkve. Polazi od razjašnjenja pneumatološko-karizmatske stvarnosti same Crkve kao i svakoga duhovnog života, autor u prvom dijelu rada iznosi bitne odrednice biblijskog utemeljenja karizmatske stvarnosti Crkve i daje kratki pogled na povijest djelovanja Duha Svetoga u poticanju karizmi. U tom svjetlu se promatra odnos između dvaju bitnih darova Duha Svetoga u Crkvi: hijerarhijski i karizmatski. Autor, nakon toga, dijagnosticira razloge nastajanja samih pokreta, osvrčući se na stanje unutar društva i Crkve i iznosi koji su mogući uzročnici tolike raširenosti novih religioznih pokreta, pitajući se o tome jesu li oni \u27znakovi vremena\u27. U trećem dijelu rada autor iznosi teološko-duhovno i pastoralno prosuđivanje crkvenih pokreta. Osvrće se na reakcije crkvenog učiteljstva i pastira, na pozitivne datosti, na moguće rizike i opasnosti kao i na kriterije razlučivanja na koje su svi bezuvjetno pozvani.In this work the author speaks about new Church movements explaining how to understand them theologically and pastorally and include them in the life and mission of the Church. Starting from the explication of pneumatological-charismatic reality of the Church itself and every spiritual life, in the first part of the work the author presents the essential guidelines of biblical foundation of the Church’s charismatic reality and gives a brief view on the history of the Holy Spirit\u27s activity in encouraging the charisma. The context considered here is the relation between the two essential gifts of the Holy Spirit in the Church: hierarchical and charismatic. Then the author diagnoses the reasons for the developments of the movements themselves giving reference to the situation within the Church and society and sets out the possible causes of such a wide range of new religious movements, wondering if they are the „sings of time“. In the third part the author presents the theological-spiritual and pastoral analysis of Church movements. He considers the reactions of the Church Magisterium and the shepherds, the positive givens, the possible risk and dangers as well as the criteria of differentiation that we are all called for
