The 27th International Theological Symposium of the Catholic Faculty of Theology in Split (KBF) was held on March 21, 2022, under the title "Papacy: Contemporary Understanding of a Contested Sign." The symposium brought together scholars from Croatia and abroad to discuss the role of the papacy in the contemporary world.
On the topic of the symposium:
In addition to doctrinal disputes, the Church has been constantly accompanied throughout history by the question of power and authority, which have often been used synonymously and unjustifiably. This issue is still very topical today and is the subject of numerous discussions, often accompanied by criticisms directed at the Church. The dichotomy between power and authority is already present in biblical texts. The apostles, like the biblical judges, were imbued with the Holy Spirit and successfully operated in their communities in which there was no developed social system or institutions of power, and the people felt their strength, spiritual authority and followed them.
Peter's ministry, as well as the primacy and infallibility of his successors, are constantly at the center of research by theologians, historians and other scientists. These issues have united even mutual enemies in the past in attacks on the Church, which often happens today.
The intention of this symposium is to open up some theological, historical and sociological relationships between "power" and "authority", which point to the numerous dangers, experiences and temptations of "power" in the sense of power with which the Church has been permanently confronted throughout its two-century history. The Church was burdened with the question of power externally, in relation to conflicts with secular power (Innocent III, Gregory VII, Boniface VIII, Papal State), but also internally, in matters of the monarchical structure of the Church (conciliarism, Gallicanism, Josephinism, theology of liberation). In the era of globalization, traditional forms of governance and management, including the ecclesiastical one, have been called into question.
The intention of the symposium is to shed light on these, but also related issues, to seek answers and confront them with the contemporary concept of power and authority.
