| Sumario: | The purpose of this thesis is to study the Ministerial and Common Priesthood according to Saint Cardinal John Henry Newman. In 1982, the Sacra Congregatio Pro Doctrina Fidei found that the doctrine of priesthood, as found in the Anglican Church and in the Roman Catholic Church respectively, presented divergences and challenges in the efforts to foster dialogue and unity between these two communities. Newman, a prominent ecumenist who was originally Anglican but subsequently converted to Catholicism, emphasised the divine origin of the ministerial priesthood during his Tractarian time, and as a Catholic fought for the rights and dignity of the laity in the Church. Given the impact of his ideas on the Church Magisterium, specifically in relation to the common and ministerial priesthood, this research aims to trace the origins and subsequent evolution of such ideas in Newman, both during his time as an Anglican and later as a Catholic. We attempt to collect, organise, and present Newman’s teachings regarding the Priesthood of Jesus Christ, of which the common priesthood and ministerial priesthood are diverse participations. The need to verify whether Newman’s thinking evolved over time determined our thesis’s structure, imbuing it with a narrative flow and putting it in a literary genre that could be called literary-existential, which is perhaps the one most in accord with the theology of Newman. This perspective requires analysing the contexts and historical moments in which Newman spoke about our topics, in order to get a better grasp of his rich thought without reducing it to a particular theological method. |
