Repasando Perfectae Caritatis

Abstract

Perfectae caritatis is a conciliar microcosm, it repeats inside the essential frame of Vatican II since its birth. The drives for the beginning and deployment of the great synod dive into the updating of the Church. And the decree aims, as said the title, to “the adaptation and renewal of religious life”. Both, council and decree, Church and religious life, emphasize two lines of action:
first, the renovation or restarting; secondly, the accommodation or modernization. The same decree will specify this interpretation encouraging an “effective renewal and straight adaptation” (PC 4). In this paper we intend to follow this thread.
