PILGRIMAGE AND THE SPIRIT OF THE HOLY CHURCH; BETWEEN MOVEMENT AND MODALITY
The image of the Pilgrim Church is both ancient and new. Since time immemorial, Christians have undertaken journeys to important shrines, and later drew on this experience a vibrant understanding of their faith journey. St. Ignatius of Loyola, among others, had been a pilgrim and later used the pilgrim metaphor to express the transformation of his years of spiritual maturation. With the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), the notion of a Church constitutively in motion gained prominence, as the Church managed a shifting conception of herself, from empire to pilgrimage. This more dynamic self-understanding, still unfolding, opened the way to a renewed attention to the Spirit animating fellow pilgrims, and to the ‘walking together’ that is synodality.
