Pope Francis facing the systematic crisis of the Church, One, Holy, Catholic and Roman. Pope Francesco will face a systemic crisis of the Catholic Church. The model of the Church, one, holy, Catholic and Roman no longer holds. The internal pluralism, the distance between Rome and the national churches, the idea of an authority that continues to be regarded as the sole custodian of truth, the challenges of bioethics and issues of clerical celibacy removed as modal and the exclusion of women from a priestly role, are the most relevant issues of the agenda of the Pope. The church-model, as it has been defined by the Council of Trent, slightly reformed by Vatican II, appeared ill and fragile, that the gesture of resignation by Pope Benedict XVI has visually revealed. Bergoglio seems to have understood the historic significance of the task that awaits him, since the outward signs of change, immediately comprehensible and visible, refer to the desire to put in the centre of the pastoral action themes of compassion and charity and don't intend the faith as a truth only to defend, but as a promising experience way of living.
El Papa Francisco se enfrentará a una crisis estructural de la Iglesia Católica. El modelo de la Iglesia, una, santa, católica y romana ya no se sostiene. El pluralismo interno, la distancia entre Roma y las iglesias nacionales, la idea de una autoridad que sigue siendo considerada como la única depositaria de la verdad, los desafíos de la bioética, los problemas del celibato sacerdotal y la exclusión del sacerdocio femenino, son los temas más relevantes en la agenda del Papa. El modelo de la iglesia, tal como la definiera el Concilio de Trento, ligeramente reformado por el Concilio Vaticano II, parecía enfermo y frágil, pero ha salido con fuerza a la luz, con el gesto de renuncia del Papa Benedicto XVI. Bergoglio parece haber comprendido la importancia histórica de la tarea que le espera. Juzgando al menos por los signos externos e inmediatos, su voluntad de cambio parece orientarse a poner en el centro de la acción pastoral la compasión y la caridad y a proponer una concepción de fe, ya no como una verdad a defender, sino como una prometedora experiencia de vida.
