Résumé
--
'What is becoming of the parish? What is its future? The parish was born and developed in a Christian regime to the point of producing what is commonly called the"parish civilisation". Until a short time ago, people were born, lived, worked, prayed, celebrated and enjoyed eternal rest under its steeple. Under the authority of a priest, people felt a strong awareness of local belonging. It was in this framework that faith was transmitted. Since the 19th century, the parish has been in constant decline. Urbanisation and the technical aspect of our society have contributed to create a different relation with time and space. A culture of the subject has emerged, a subject whose identity is built more than received (and who, perhaps, would prefer to choose his parish). The ecclesial institution was ill-prepared for this change. Faith has become a private affair, fewer modern States are confessional. Today, the parish is deeply altered. 'The parish network inherited from the past consequently appears to be too big: fewer Catholics refer to the parish of their residence and, correspondingly, fewer Catholics participate in the life and the well-being of their parish. In many ways, the parish has become a symbol of all the upsets that affect the role of the Church in our societies. The Church is no longer"in the centre of the village"[...] 'For the last thirty years, more than three-quarters of the dioceses in France have re-organized their parishes, either by regrouping or federating them under the same priest with different names (pastoral sectors, parish communities, pastoral unities, etc.), or by formally creating"new parishes"after dissolving the old ones. In reality, this means integrating several churches and congregations whose functions and services are provided by a collective parish institution. [...] 'This dossier does not claim to give an exhaustive account of the subject. Firstly, it offers a historical view then some elements for reflection which will help readers view their own pastoral reality from a certain distance and reflect, with boldness and serenity, on the future of the parish in a secularised world and a multi-religious society.' [Alphonse Borras]"
