Description
Summary:The teaching of the magisterium, most recently in the Second Vatican Council, is based on scripture and tradition. Scripture is read through the lens of an organological model according to which the emergence of the magisterium is likened to the growth of an organism. This interpretation uses scripture in a canonical overview which pays no attention to the historical differentiation of the different ideas of church offices in the New Testament and in the history of the Early Church. The conflicts in the present day about the specific shapes that church teaching takes (ordination of women, power structure, and so on) are also a consequence of different scriptural hermeneutics. The blind spot for sociological and anthropological factors in supporting structures of authority leads, in its final consequence, to a fundamentalist treatment of scripture.
