''Subsistit in'' (subsists in) is a Latin phrase, which appears in the eighth paragraph of ''Lumen gentium,''〔(Lumen gentium, 8 (latin) ). Accessed 2009-06-13. (''Lumen gentium'', 8 (english) ) Accessed 2011-10-25.〕 a landmark document of the Second Vatican Council of the Catholic Church: ::This Church constituted and organized in the world as a society, subsists in the Catholic Church, which is governed by the successor of Peter and by the Bishops in communion with him, although many elements of sanctification and of truth are found outside of its visible structure. These elements, as gifts belonging to the Church of Christ, are forces impelling toward catholic unity. ::''Haec Ecclesia, in hoc mundo ut societas constituta et ordinata, subsistit in Ecclesia catholica, a successore Petri et Episcopis in eius communione gubernata, licet extra eius compaginem elementa plura sanctificationis et veritatis inveniantur, quae ut dona Ecclesiae Christi propria, ad unitatem catholicam impellunt.'' This sentence and the correct meaning of "subsists in" affects the ''definition of the Church'' with important implications for how the Catholic Church views itself, its relations with other Christian communities and other religions. Questions have been raised,〔Peter Hebblethwaite, Pope Paul VI,Paulist Press 1993〕 if ''Lumen gentium'' reworded the longstanding phrase, which stated that the Church of Christ ''is'' (Latin ''est'') the Catholic Church. ''Lumen gentium'' does recognize that other Christian ecclesial communities have elements of sanctification and of truth. ==Church of Christ is the Catholic Church== According to some, to say the Church of Christ "subsists in" the Catholic Church introduces a distinction between the Church of Christ and the Catholic Church. Catholic teaching had traditionally, until then, stated unequivocally that "the Mystical Body of Christ and the Roman Catholic Church are one and the same thing", as Pope Pius XII expressed it in his 1950 encyclical (''Humani generis'', 27 )). The teaching of Pope Pius XII on the identity of the Mystical Body and the Catholic Church in ''Mystici corporis'' was solemn, theologically integrated, but not new. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「subsistit in」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
