"... the willingness to live up to the spirit of a new era must neither fragment nor soften the fundament of Western culture...". Pastoral practice between pre-conciliar modernity and post-conciliar conservativism

梵蒂冈第二次会议之前的天主教绝不是一个统一和孤立的实体，因为它经常被认为是回顾。甚至在梵蒂冈第二届大公会议之前，牧师们偶尔也有勇气在他们的教区实施改革思想。然而，在大公会议之后，一些曾经的“现代”牧师经历了信仰的破裂：他们不仅拒绝了大公会议的部分决议，而且从根本上禁止了他们以前在牧灵实践中所做的所有现代化努力。这些牧师一方面是20世纪40年代和50年代盛行的教会保守主义的先驱，另一方面是在高度创新的时代采取保守行动，他们的双重非同时性必须加以分析和解释。因此，该次级项目将审查德意志联邦共和国在牧灵工作领域的大公会议前和大公会议后天主教的多样性主题。斯图加特市牧师Hermann Breucha（1902-1972）被选为可能的案例研究。Breucha属于一群牧师，在前大公会议时期，就他们的牧师活动而言，他们故意超越了执政的保守主义的界限。在20世纪60年代后半期，他表现出了明显的转变。现代牧师变成了一个行事保守的牧师。该子项目旨在通过考虑牧灵实践、变化的语义和情感动态的角度，精确地检查这些冲突领域，这意味着对天主教徒的多元化理解。考虑到三个分析维度：激活和社会性（堂区），经验和宗教自我占有（礼仪）以及接纳和划分/渗透（媒体工作/普世主义）。该主题将在两个子项目中进行研究，重点关注牧灵实践的各个领域：第一个项目探讨牧师作为“天主教环境的管理者”在他的功能和内部，第二个项目则在他的传教层面和其他方面考虑他。这两个项目都遵循一个三个阶段的过程，该过程以对未发表的资料的分析为基础，并以印刷媒体反映的Breucha的扩展公众为补充。为了对比研究结果，将组织对Breucha同时代人的采访。在项目的未来阶段，对另一位“改革者”（Otto Karrer）进行比较分析，然而，他走的是与Breucha相反的道路，这可能有助于找出导致不同方向决策的身份标记。通过调查Breucha的周围环境以及年轻一代对他的接受情况，该项目将进一步了解“成为天主教徒”在后大公会议阶段意味着什么。因此，天主教徒的变体可以在30多年来发生深刻动荡的漫长时期内，在不同含义的“回声空间”中进行研究。

The catholicism before Vatican II was by no means as uniform and isolated an entity as it was often perceived in retrospect. Even before the Second Vatican Council, pastors occasionally had had the courage to implement reformist ideas in their parishes. In the aftermath of the Council, however, some of such formerly "modern" pastors experienced a fracture with their convictions: Not only did they reject parts of the Council’s resolutions, but they also radically banned all of their previous efforts of modernisation from their pastoral practice. The double non-simultaneity of these pastors, who, on the one hand acted as pioneers in the middle of the church conservatism that prevailed in the 1940s and 50s, and who, on the other hand undertook a conservative move in a time of high innovation, must be analyzed and explained. Therefore, the subproject will review the diversity thesis of both pre- and post-conciliar Catholicism in the Federal Republic of Germany in the field of pastoral work. The Stuttgart city pastor Hermann Breucha (1902-1972) was selected as a a possible case study. Breucha belonged to a group of pastors who, in pre-conciliar times, deliberately exceeded the boundaries of the ruling conservatism as far as their pastoral activities were. In the second half of the 1960s, he then showed a clear turnaround. The modern pastor became a conservativly acting clergyman. The subproject seeks to examine precisely these fields of conflict, which imply a diversified understanding of being Catholic, by considering the perspectives of pastoral practice, changed semantics, and emotional dynamics. Three analytical dimensions are taken into account: activation and sociality (parish), experience and religious self-appropriation (liturgy) as well as admission and demarcation/permeability (media work/ecumenism).The topic will be examined in two subprojects, which focus on various fields of action of pastoral practice: The first explores the pastor as "manager of the Catholic milieu" in his function ad intra, the second then considers him in his missionary dimension ad extra. Both projects follow a three-stage process that is based on the analysis of unpublished sources, complemented by Breucha's extended public, which has been reflected in print media. To contrast the findings, interviews with Breucha’s contemporaries will be organized. In a future phase of the project, a comparative analysis of another "reformer" (Otto Karrer), who, however, pursued the opposite way to Breucha, may help to work out identity markers that lead to the different directional decisions. By investigating Breucha’s reception by his immediate environment as well by the younger generation, the project will gain further insights in what "being Catholic" meant in the post-conciliar phase. Thus, variants of being Catholic can be studied in differently connoted "echo spaces" over the prolonged period of a little more than 30 years during which a deep upheaval took place.
