ABSTRACT
This reflection is based on Joao Batista Libanio’s observations about the ecclesial situation in his work The Return to Great Discipline. The framing of ecclesial subjects in the post-conciliar era, inspired by Tridentate identity patterns, was an ongoing project at the beginning of the 1980s. This purpose has taken shape over the last forty years and has built up a legacy that today configures an unprecedented situation, far removed from a supposed unity of imaginary and discipline. The reflection points to the crisis of the framework model since the resignation of Benedict XVI and the contradictions faced today by his successor with the projects of unavoidable reform of the Church.
