Comments/contents:
Charisma is a popular term, it has something light and lively. It stands for the spirit that "breathes where and how it wants", for spiritual movement, for setting out for something new and different. The charism works in diversity, sometimes messy or chaotic. Without the Spirit, nothing new comes into being. The office, on the other hand, stands for tradition, law and order. In contrast to the charisma, it sometimes appears as rigid and immobile. The ministry is conferred by ordination and confers the grace of ordination; in the Catholic Church it is still conferred only on men. Ministry and charism stand in a certain antagonism that already has biblical roots - in the ministry of Peter and the ministry of Paul.
In history, especially during the Reformation, the question has repeatedly been raised as to who actually has the possession of the spirit that is relevant for the building up of the church - who is the bearer of the charism of leadership in the church? This question is again topical within the Catholic Church today and is also being discussed explicitly and implicitly in the process of the Synodal Way. This question will also be the subject of the seminar and will be discussed on the basis of various sources, also in an ecumenical perspective.
