Resumo
O movimento ecuménico moderno é de origem Protestante e Ortodoxa, tem cem anos e desemboca na instituição do Conselho Mundial de Igrejas. Embora convidada desde o início, a Igreja Católica Romana rejeitou o apelo e proibiu aos seus fiéis o contacto com esse movimento. Só depois do Concílio Vaticano II aceitou integrar uma das comissões do C.M.I., mas sem pertencer à instituição como uma das suas Igrejas membros. O movimento ecuménico teve sempre o cuidado de se conceber como pluralidade de Igrejas e o C.M.I. assume-se, na língua inglesa, como uma fellowship of Churches. O ensino oficial da Igreja Católica Romana mantém que as Igrejas Ortodoxas estão em falta enquanto não aceitarem a doutrina do “Primado de Pedro” e que as “Comunidades Eclesiais” provenientes da Reforma, sem Episcopado e Eucaristia válidos, “não são Igrejas em sentido próprio.” O entendimento católico da unidade ecuménica continua a ser o de “retorno”, enquanto o movimento ecuménico representado pelo C.M.I. busca os propósitos de koinonia e de consenso.
Modern ecumenical movement stems from a Protestant and Orthodox initiative; it is now one hundred years old and took an institutional form in the World Council of Churches. Roman Catholic Church, although invited from the beginning, rejected the appeal and hindered her flock of faithful from any contact with that movement. Only after Vatican Council II did she accept to belong to one of its commissions, but without full inclusion as one of its memberChurches. The ecumenical movement was always concerned with describing itself as a plurality, and the WCC is formally presented as a Fellowship of Churches. The official teaching of the Roman Catholic Church maintains that Orthodox Churches are defective as long as they won’t accept the Catholic doctrine of the “Primacy of Peter”, and that “Ecclesial Communities” brought by the Reformation, without a valid Episcopate and Eucharist, “are not Churches in the proper sense.” Catholic understanding of ecumenical unity keeps rooted upon the concept of “return”; the ecumenical movement represented by the WCC searches for purposes as koinonia and consensus.
