Description
Summary:From 1967 to 1974, in the Dominican Province of France, seven groups of brothers were to separate from their respective priories to form "base communities". This article describes what happened to these friars and how they were to justify this reforming enterprise. Although most drew on the spirit of "May 68" to legitimize the need to rebuild the Church, the study of real cases relativizes this discourse. The crisis within the religious life began well before May 68 and it had many causes, sometimes related to personal doubts about one's vocation. As a result, grassroots communities can be seen as utopian crucibles of innovation, as well as transitional spaces preparing for a return to secular life.
De 1967 a 1974, en la Provincia dominicana de Francia, siete grupos de frailes se separaron de sus conventos respectivos para constituirse en "comunidades de base". Este artículo describe la trayectoria de estos religiosos y la manera en que justificaron esta transgresión como una empresa reformadora. Aunque una gran parte de los religiosos acudieron al espíritu de "Mayo del 68" para legitimar la necesidad de refundar la IglesIa, el estudio de estas trayectorias relativiza dicho discurso. La crisis de la vida religiosa es muy anterior a Mayo del 68 y sus causas fueron múltiples, también ligadas a dudas personales acerca de la propia vocación. De repente, las comunidades de base son vistas tanto como crisoles utópicos de renovación, como espacios de transición camino del retorno a la vida seglar.
