| Summary: |
In 2004, John Paul II gave birth to the International Bishops Conference
of the Saints Cyril and Methodius (= CEICEM) thinking of pastoral support
in the heart of the Western Balkans. The International Conference harmonized
with the great project of unification of Christian Europe. However, changes in the region over the course of a quarter of a century are
remarkable. In fact, CEICEM covers pastorally four States (Serbia, Montenegro,
Macedonia and Kosovo) today in progressive legislative and cultural divisions. On the canonical level, the Conference dedicated to the Saints Cyril and
Methodius does not pose any special problems: the affectus collegialis, the hierarchical
organizational model and the pastoral aim are the typical ones of the
Bishops’ Conferences. The issue, however, is of a diplomatic nature and imposes
new models for the presence of the Catholic Church on the territory. There is a
difference of opinion on the fate of CEICEM: the Balkan bishops are oriented
towards dismantling, while the Apostolic See tends to stall, maintaining the status
quo. The Vatican pragmatic line, however, takes into account local political
evolution in the light of European integration, especially Serbia, not forgetting
the original Wojtylian project of the unity of Christian Europe. |
