Abstrakt
W eklezjologii komunii J. Ratzingera/Benedykta XVI ważną rolę pełni osoba biskupa. Liturgia Kościoła, a zwłaszcza celebracja Eucharystii, której przewodniczy biskup, objawia Kościół jako sakrament komunii trynitarnej. Kardynał J. Ratzinger/Benedykt XVI uwypukla kolegialny charakter urzędu biskupa. Opiera się on na dwóch historycznych faktach, mianowicie na kolegialności Apostołów oraz na kolegialnym charakterze duchowego urzędu w Kościele starożytnym. Kolegialny charakter posługi biskupiej w teologii J. Ratzingera/Benedykta XVI wiąże się nieodzownie z kwestią sakramentalności episkopatu i znajduje swoje odbicie w liturgii święceń biskupich, zwłaszcza w wymogu obecności przynajmniej trzech biskupów podczas udzielania święceń elektowi. Pozostawanie biskupa w osobistej komunii z Bogiem stanowi fundament jego tożsamości i zobowiązuje do stylu życia, naśladującego kenozę wcielonego Syna Bożego. Kardynał Ratzinger ukazuje w swoich pismach istotę posługi biskupiej w świetle lex orandi. Czyni to w oparciu o teologiczną interpretację poszczególnych czynności, mających miejsce w czasie obrzędu święceń biskupich takich jak np. położenie księgi Ewangelii na głowie święconego podczas modlitwy święceń, bądź odnosząc się do symboliki insygniów biskupich.
In the ecclesiology of the Communion by J. Ratzinger/Benedict XVI bishop plays a very important role. The liturgy of Church, especially the celebration of Eucharist, which the bishop presides, reveals Church as a sacrament of Trinitarian Communion. Cardinal J. Ratzinger/Benedict XVI emphasizes collegial character of the bishops office, which is based on two historic facts; collegiality of Apostles and collegial character of spiritual office in ancient Church. The collegial character of bishops attendance in J. Ratzinger’s/Benedicts theology is strictly connected with the issue of sacramentality of episcopate and it finds its reflexion in the liturgy of bishop ordination demanding the presence of at least three bishops during the administration of sacred ordinations to the elect chosen for the post of bishop. According to J. Ratzinger/Benedict XVI, being in personal communion with God makes the basis for the bishop’s identity, and it should entail accepting by the bishop the style of life imitating kenosis of the incarnate Son of God. In his writings Cardinal Ratzinger shows the essence of attendance in the light of lex orandi, based on theological interpretation of all activities which take place during the ritual of bishop sacred ordinations, such as, for example laying on the Book of the Gospels. Upon the head of the bishop -elect during the prayer of consecration or they refer to the symbolism of insignia episcopal.
