Collaborazione fra vescovi o fra Chiese?

Bearing in mind that the Council, while opening up to the centrality of the particular Church, lends itself to universalist interpretations, the author, after attempting to grasp in the constitutive relationality of each particular church the vital dynamic that unites them all in a single life, deals with relations between Churches. To do this, she delves into the bond between the bishop and his Church, then looks at the concrete possibilities for relations between Churches: groupings of churches, bishops' conferences, particular councils, synods, exchange of goods, the Vatican Curia. He concludes by placing the issue within the synodal rethinking of the whole Church. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
