Towards a new model of Diocesan management structures and proficiency in the Post-Vatican two Roman Catholic Church

The topic of diocesan Church management structures which I present
in this research emerges from concerns concerning the comprehensive
implementation of the Second Vatican Council in this regard. It is an
attempt to examine, comprehend and present the responses and
opinions of members of a diocesan Church in a systematic, clear and
simple manner to concerns such as: should diocesan Church
management structures change? If so, how should diocesan Church
management structures change? What should be the main focus and
priority of diocesan Church management structures? Do the current
management structures of the diocesan Church respond adequately to
the needs of the People of God? Since the Catholic Church has a
complex management structure, the entire examination thereof is
beyond the scope of this research. However, the aim of this
investigation is to critically examine the diocesan management
structures of a contemporary local Church. The challenge of this
research is to ascertain how ecclesial management, as a vital aspect in
the Church, is responding to the challenges of the Second Vatican
Council to make the Church not only relevant, but allowing full
participation and representation of her members in the management
of the diocesan Church. / Department of Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / D.Th (Practical Theology)
