Papa Francisco has changed article 230, paragraph 1 of the Code of Canon Law, to allow the women to own the stable of lecturer and acolite, a paper reserved now for the varones, dandles as well as functions on the altar.
Francisco explained in the apostolic card ‘Spiritus Domini’ in the form of Motu Proprio, published this Monday by the Press Office of the Santa Sede, that his decision was the fruit of a “doctrinal doctrinal” which has been done in the last few years, which distinguishes certain ministers from what it is necessary to have ordained sacredness, of others with which one is bound to be baptized.
“The secular ministries, based on the sacrament of Bautism, can confide in all the sons who are idiots, masculine or feminine”, has declared the Santo Padre.
In this way, the new enactment of the ecclesiastical standard is the following: “the collection of these ministries without the right to be supported or remunerated by the Church”.
With this new instruction from Bergoglio, the women can become owners of acolytes, which is the person who, without holding clerical orders, can act in extraordinary situations as a minister, administering the Eucharist and completing functions on the altar. In the past this ecclesial role has been established abierto the losicos varones.
Its function, which distinguishes it from those owned by monaguillos, has traditionally been to collaborate with the Presbyterian or the deacon in the Mass and in other celebrations of the liturgy. In special situations, including including the community if there is a large number of supporters or the minister is present.
For its part, the paper of the reader has always been necessary since he led in the Church the writings of the Old and New Testaments and during the Mass, he in the other offices. For the reader’s ministry, a double instruction is required: biblical and liturgical.
The Vatican specified in an editorial published in its means of communication that it hecho that the women lean the Sagradas Writings during the liturgical celebrations or that “a service at the altar” does not take place. “In many communes of the world there is a practice authorized by the bishop”, says the editorial. Well, these realities are without an “institutional mandate”, according to the Vatican.
The pontiff has since made this decision, which, in various Synodal Assemblies, is meeting with the bishops of the Church to debate on certain topics, the “need for profound doctrine in this argument” has been evident. to offer a support to the gospel.
For example, the Synod on October 2019 celebrates the New Evangelism Evangelization Plantations to improve the geographic network of its territory of more than 7,000 square kilometers, characterized by the difficulty of accessing the cities where they live.
In some areas, high, the missionaries and the religious of the zone can read and have up to three days to go through the riots; and the lack of sacred gifts impedes in these communities access to the Eucharist.
