Le modèle d'autorité dans l'Eglise

Etienne Van Billoen

Following the important institutional moment that was the Second Vatican Council, the Catholic Church has seen the socio-cultural changes that were crystallized in the often con flicting changes of its system of authority.

In addition, during a period of profound changes the positions taken by the levels of authority have reinforced institutional weight; that is why the study is concerned with the speech that the superior level of authority of the religious Catholic group produces about itself. The French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu is linked to an observation of the teaching system which is precisely one sector of social life where authority is strongly questioned. These thoughts have guided the author to formulate the hypotheses concerning the model of authority in the Roman Catholic group.

To enter into this universe with the work hypotheses, the author presents an analytical grill of texts of which the key does not rest on a regrouping of different themes treated by speech ; it is these speeches themselves which give the key and, more precisely, their literary mechanisms brought to light by a study of pedagogical speech made by Jean Dubois.

The conclusions of the analyses conclude by the speeches themselves, the existence of various arbitrary cultural insti tutions in the Catholic ecclesiastical institution, without that diversity being, all the same, accepted by the superior level of this institution. More than this statement, it is the method itself of the study which rates attention.
