Description
Summary:En 2000, le diocese de Nice (France) arrive au terme de son processus de reamenagement paroissial, apres plus de quatre annees de travail. Le territoire diocesain compte desormais 46 paroisses en lieu et place des 263 existantes precedemment. Or, audela du bilan chiffre et humain d'un tel redecoupage, le procede mis en place par le diocese pour reussir cette operation (appele ici Diocese 2000 et construit autour d'un ' comite de pilotage ') peut constituer un bon analyseur de l'institutionnalisation en cours au sein de l'Eglise catholique. En evitant le recours au synode diocesain, ce reamenagement s'inscrit dans un processus alliant heritage et nouveaute. Il constitue egalement une opportunite pour penser (voire panser) l'Eglise diocesaine, en reconstituant des territoires du croire grace a une nouvelle organisation et une nouvelle occupation de l'espace In 2000, the Nice diocese (in France) completed its process of parochial redevelopment, after more than four years of work. As a result, the diocesan territory is composed of 46 parishes instead of the previously existing 263. However, beyond the quantified and human assessment of such a territorial redrawing, the process chosen by the diocese to achieve this project (called Diocese 2000 and managed by a 'steering committee') can constitute a good analyzer for the notion of 'institutionalization in progress' within the Catholic Church. By not having recourse to a diocesan synod, this parochial reorganization appears as a process combining heritage and innovation. It also constitutes a process of rethinking (even of healing) the diocesan Church, by reconstituting territories of belief thanks to a new organization and a new spatial occupation.
