拉丁禮教會

维基百科,自由的百科全书

拉丁禮教會(英語:Latin Church)或稱西方教會,是天主教會內最大的個別教會,一般來說,除了少數東儀天主教會信眾(約佔天主教徒總數1%,分屬22個東方禮自治教會)外,絕大部分天主教徒一般都屬於拉丁禮教會。拉丁禮教會不是在個別教會中的地方個別教會層面內,即教區或東方禮教區。

歷史[编辑]

拉丁禮教會最初發展是在羅馬帝國行省阿非利加(即現今的突尼西亞北部及利比亞西部)。[1]在這之後,教會漸漸傳到羅馬帝國中的西羅馬帝國

西羅馬帝國起,從古典時代文藝復興時期,拉丁禮教會使用的教會語言:拉丁語成為了教育和文化的主要語言。在該領域發展出各種拉丁禮拜儀式。

術語[编辑]

教會及禮儀[编辑]

在1990年定立的《東儀天主教會法典》中,“教會”和“禮儀”有以下意思:

教會:A group of Christian faithful united by a hierarchy according to the norm of law which the supreme authority of the Church expressly or tacitly recognizes as sui iuris is called in this Code a Church sui iuris.[2]
禮儀:A rite is the liturgical, theological, spiritual and disciplinary patrimony, culture and circumstances of history of a distinct people, by which its own manner of living the faith is manifested in each Church sui iuris.[3]

拉丁禮天主教和羅馬天主教[编辑]

有時,聖座也使用術語“羅馬天主教”來指整個天主教會是在與羅馬主教及的共融之中[4][5]。但是,聖座從來沒有使用“羅馬天主教”這術語,來專指拉丁禮教會。聖座相當普遍使用的術語“羅馬”是指羅馬教區
