Abstract

The Vatican-China agreement has brought all the Chinese bishops into communion with the pope, but the Chinese church remains substantially divided. To overcome the present antagonism, I propose that the Chinese church explore more closely, through the resources of communion ecclesiology, the spiritual dimension of catholicity which privileges the life of the local church rooted in the trinitarian communion of God. In particular, Dumitru Stăniloae’s theology of ‘sobornicity’ as a spiritual unity in communion can help the Chinese church overcome its present political difficulties by clarifying the foundation and source of Christian communion, by accentuating the special role of the Holy Spirit in the unity of the church, and by encouraging a cosmic and eschatological openness in the church’s attitude to the world.

中国天主教会的大公性新视野——从司杜儒的“宗教性”看
梵蒂冈与中国的协议使所有中国主教都与教皇进行了交流,但中国教会仍然存在很大分歧。为了克服目前的对立,我建议中国教会通过圣餐教会学的资源,更紧密地探索天主教的精神维度,这种精神维度使植根于与上帝的三位一体圣餐的当地教会的生活享有特权。特别是,Dumitru Stăniloae的“sobornicity”神学作为圣餐中的精神统一,可以通过澄清基督教圣餐的基础和来源,强调圣灵在教会统一中的特殊作用,帮助中国教会克服当前的政治困难,以及通过鼓励教会对世界的态度具有宇宙和末世论的开放性。
