The Church is not only organization but also organism
Ante Jurić
Drago Šimundža
Abstract
In this article the subject under discussion is about the Church in
progress; in her historical development. The Church is always the same
but different in her historical actualization. She is visible community
and mystic body. We have to think about her external social arid ecclesiastical organization in the same way we have the think that she is living organism, community of faith, hope and love, which lives her own mystical life. In his talk with the editor-in-chief Msgr. Drago Šimundža, splitsko-makarski archbishop Msgr. Ante Jurić explicates his view-points about present-day position of the Church in our envirounment. He considers that our Church, in spite of all difficulties, has her pastoral opportunities. These opportunities are in fidelity to her fundamental vocation: serving to a man and actualization deeds of salvation. In the developmental trend the Church has to think about organic growing; she is not allowed to break o ff with the past, with lasting values of the faith.
