The study examines the Dicastery's structure and functioning in the light of the purposes thath pertain to it, already on the bases of the Statute, later confirmed and perfected by the Constitution reforming the Roman Curia.

Lo studio esamina la struttura ed il funzionamento del Dicastero alla luce delle finalità che ad esso competono, già in base allo Statuto, confermato poi e perfezionato dalla Costituzione di riforma della Curia Romana. L’importante ruolo che i laici vi possono assumere, nell’interpretazione dei segni dei tempi, e nell’attuazione del magistero sociale della Chiesa, sembra trovare specifiche ragioni nella loro vocazione alla santificazione dell’ordine temporale (sia pure intendendo questo in un senso nuovo), oltreché nel criterio materiale e professionale dell’attribuzione delle competenze dicasteriali.

Abstract
The study examines the Dicastery's structure and functioning in the light of the purposes thath pertain to it, already on the bases of the Statute, later confirmed and perfected by the Constitution reforming the Roman Curia. The important role the laity can assume in it - with regard to interpreting the signes of the times as well as to the implementation of the social magisterium of the Church - seems to find specific reasons in their vocation to the sanctification of the temporal order, newly percepted though, on one hand and in the material and professional criterion of atributing dicasterial competences on the other hand.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
