„Reformatio in Ecclesia” jako nawrócenie stanowisko kard. Y. Congara
Pek, Kazimierz (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2007)
Cardinal Yves Congar († 1995) is one of the outstanding theologians of the 20th century who creatively reflected on reform in the Church. He saw justification for such a reflection in ecclesiology understood integrally. He suggested that in perception of the Church at least three dimensions should be seen: its origin de Trinitate, formation de hominibus, and unification in Christo. Even though the need of reform in the aspect of its origin and its being rooted in the Trinity is not discussed, such a reform is necessary for the life of the Church that consists of sinners. Y Congar remarked that patristic understanding of reformatio is useful, as it refers to the reform of man, and speaking more precisely, to his conversion in Christ. This is why reformatio appears to be conversion. Such a perspective in perceiving the Church requires standing in the truth and recognizing mistakes in managing the community of the Church and errors in its teaching. Moreover, such a position puts all the members of the Church in the perspective of not only evangelization, but also self-evangelization.
