The Catholic Church must combat clericalism among its ranks by giving authority to a “responsible and reliable” laity, the head of the Vatican’s development dicastery said.
The article, published May 18 in the Jesuit publication La Civiltà Cattolica, takes up the central ideas of a speech he delivered April 21 to the Third Latin American and Caribbean Congress on Catholic Social Teaching held in Bogotá, Colombia. In it, he reflected on the effects of synodality on the development and implementation of Catholic social teaching today.
The cardinal recognised that many members of the clergy are reluctant to embrace the spirit of synodality out of fear that giving more responsibility to the laity could weaken the Church’s structures. Addressed to lay and religious researchers, professors and leaders of social movements, the cardinal’s message in Bogotá called for bishops’ conferences to apply synodal principles within their territories to develop social teaching tailored to the needs of their communities.
