O inquérito, recentemente efetuado, sobre as identidades religiosas em Portugal fornece dados que mostram o reforço da tendência para a individualização crente que tem vindo a verificar-se já nos últimos tempos. Importa colher o que desses dados diz respeito concretamente aos católicos. Convém submeter as configurações crentes que eles indicam a um discernimento teológico. Trata-se de perceber o que nestas está
de acordo com a verdade da fé cristã ou se lhe afigura estranho. É um exercício que requer o face a face dialogante entre o ‘eu’ da fé e o ‘nós’ eclesial. Este último deve abrir espaço para que aquele possa exprimir-se na primeira pessoa do singular. Mas tem de verificar também se o referido ‘eu’ dá mostras de filiação na fé que a Igreja vive e proclama. É possível que o ‘eu’ da fé surpreenda o ‘nós’ eclesial em alguns aspetos, de forma positiva. Mas pode acontecer igualmente que veja serem-lhe apontadas falhas que necessitam
de especial atenção.
The recent survey on religious identities in Portugal provides data that show a strengthening of the tendency towards the individualisation of belief that latterly has become increasingly evident. It is important to gather from these data what relates concretely to Catholics and to submit the configurations of belief that they indicate to critical theological enquiry. It is a matter of understanding what in them is in accordance with the truth of Christian faith and what appears to be strange to it. It is an exercise that requires dialogue between the ‘I’ of faith and the ecclesial ‘we’. The latter should open up space so as to let the former find expression in the first person singular. But it has also to check if this ‘I’ provides indications of affiliation in the faith that the Church lives and proclaims. It is possible that the ‘I’ of faith may surprise the ecclesial ‘we’ in certain respects, in a positive sense. But it may equally prove necessary to point out faults that need particular attention.
