Who is a religious pastor? Concerning the relationship between the religious superior and the pastor in a parish entrusted to a religious institute

Summary/Abstract: This article presents the problematic concerning the relationship between the local Supe- rior and the religious pastor in a parish entrusted to a religious institute, when these o ces are not held by the same person. The Author presents brie y a historical evaluation of the concept of the religious parish, i.e. the movement from the bene cium to the communitas. According to the Author there are 3 principles organising this commitment: the salvation of souls, the work (opus) of the institute, and the principle of conserving religious identity. Following these principles, the Author expresses his opinion regarding the limitation of the religious pastor as “pastor proprius paroeciae”, and emphasises the fact that the reli- gious pastor is rst of all a religious, without any special rights in the religious community. Lastly, according to the Author, it would be better for religious life to use the canonical o ce of moderator rather than that of the pastor (cf can. 517, 1983 CIC 1983).
