Economic and Pastoral Council

Nikola Škalabrin ; Catholic Faculty of Theology in Djakovo, University of Josip Juraj Strossmayer, Djakovo, Croatia

Abstract

The author starts out from the fact that the II Vatican synode emphasised the importance of cooperation among all believers in building the Church. This cooperation is created, among other things, through the activities of two councils: economic and pastoral. His sources are from the 2nd Vatican Council, M.P. Ecclesieae Sanctae, the Directory for the Bishop's pastoral service Ecclesiae imago, the Congregation Circular for the clergy Omnes christifideles, and particular weight is given to the provisions of the canonlaw statue book concerning the above-mentioned councils.
The Salvation sent to all God's people, in which believers have their own degree of responsibility according tο their position in the Church, must not be limited, excluding that sent to ordained shepherds or church hierarchy, but it requires the participation of all believers.
The article is divided into two parts: the first part discusses the councils at the diocese level, and the second part councils at the parish level.
