Shared Responsibility – Theological Principle of Modern Pastoral Work
Bono Zvonimir Šagi
Sažetak
Having ecclesiology of the Second Vatican Council as its starting point, the article shows how deeply the term shared responsibility is enrooted in both the nature and the mission of the Church. The Church is called to witness the values of the Gospel, thus every baptizand should become aware of shared responsibility when it comes to social events - using the vigour of the calling of a witness in accordance with his/her duty to read the signs of time. On the other hand, shared responsibility has its origin in the very nature of communion within the Church. Therefore it embodies the application of the Council concept of collegiality to the very basis. In pastoral practice it means the union in work, creation of cooperative relations, reinforcement of pastoral spirituality in the form of a mutual shared responsibility aimed at the integrity of the mission of the Church, the spirit of initiative, and at development of awareness of the need for a constructive criticism versus “good” obedience.
