Sažetak
If we check the index of the Documents of the Second Vatican Council and the Codex of Canon Law, we’ll be surprised at the fact that the term “shared responsibility” is not even mentioned in either of them. Nevertheless, we should point out that the destiny of this expression is basically connected to the ecclesiology of communion, which is the central and fundamental thought of the Council documents. The Church stands for communion, which means that it has to include participation and shared responsibility of the faithful. The author states the thoughts of the respectful canonists whom we owe various opinions on the implications of shared responsibility in the ecclesiology of communion. We also owe them the designation of the starting points they use to describe the functions and limits of the structures of shared responsibility. From the author’s point of view, the exact understanding of the ecclesiastic council documents and of the interpretations of their doctrines represents the necessary requirement needed for gathering the potentials included in the normative provisions of the Codex on the bodies of participation and shared responsibility within the Church.
