Ecclesiology of the Domestic Church: History & Implications

Rubio, Charisse D.

Abstract Details

2020, Master of Arts in Theology, Athenaeum of Ohio, School of Theology.
This thesis will show that the Second Vatican Council set in motion new directions that enabled subsequent ecclesiology to regard the family as a Domestic Church. The Introduction provides normative definitions of key terms and an overview of the thesis. Chapter One briefly examines the history and theology of the Domestic Church before the Second Vatican Council from evidence in the New Testament, by patristic writings about marriage, and in magisterial teachings through the ages up to Vatican II. Chapter Two has three sections covering the development of the theology of the Domestic Church during and since the Second Vatican Council: two significant developments during Vatican II that had profound implications for family life as the Domestic Church, the ecclesiological insights that emerged out of the Council, and subsequent papal ecclesiological development. Chapter Three addresses the new ecclesiological directions for the Domestic Church in three sections: the status of the expression “Domestic Church,” the sacramentality of the Domestic Church, and the implications for parish and family ministry. The Conclusion highlights the most notable of these new directions and implications. The teachings of “Theology of the Body” are not covered in this thesis.
