| Summary: | The New Testament reports several Jesus’s logia about children that form a part of his preaching of the kingdom of God. Children are shown as examples to be emulated and accepted by his disciples. Such testimonies can be found in synoptic gospels. However, Paul in his grand Song of Love in the First Epistle to the Corinthians appreciates the fact that he matured into his adult age. To his disciples Jesus also proposes an ideal of abandoning family life in favor of radical discipleship, while in Paul’s epistles to the Colossians and Ephesians we find the then model of the family and of raising children which Christians accept, yet they are obliged to perfect it in a life which draws its strength from the faith in Christ. For Paul, a more adequate option is to live without a wife; however, those in marriage should be strictly monogamous and raise their children well. In the course of its history, the Catholic Church has acknowledged celibacy as the appropriate form of clerical life. The Canon Law regulation on marriage and on the basic parameters of educating the offspring still draws its inspiration from the practice of the beginnings of the Church as documented in the New Testament. Le Nouveau Testament présente certains propos de Jésus sur les enfants, qui appartenaient aussi au Royaume de Dieu. Les enfants sont donnés comme l’exemple, les disciples devraient les imiter et adopter. Ces témoignages sont inclus dans les évangiles synoptiques, tandis que ‒ par exemple ‒ l’Apôtre Paul, dans l’ « Hymne à la Charité » de la Première Épître aux Corinthiens, trouve que le fait d’avoir atteint sa maturité est quelque chose de positif. Jésus présente aussi à ses disciples l’idéal de l’abandon de la vie familiale au profit de la vie spirituelle. Dans les Épîtres aux Colossiens et aux Éphésiens, on trouvera des passages traitant du modèle antique de la famille et de l’éducation des enfants que les chrétiens acceptent, bien qu’ils doivent les améliorer en vivant dans la foi. Selon le Saint Paul, il est mieux que l’homme vive sans femme, pourtant, ceux qui concluent le mariage devraient observer la monogamie stricte et élever convenablement leurs enfants. Au cours de l’histoire, l’Église catholique a accepté le célibat comme la manière propice de vivre pour les ecclésiastiques. La réglementation canonique du mariage et des paramètres essentiels concernant l’éducation des enfants s’appuient toujours sur la pratique datant des commencements de l’Église et elle est ‒ quant à cette pratique ‒ documentée dans les textes du Nouveau Testament. Il Nuovo Testamento presenta alcune affermazioni di Gesù sui bambini i quali appartenevano parimenti al Regno di Dio. I bambini sono indicati come esempio, i discepoli devono emularli ed accettarli. Tali testimonianze sono racchiuse nei vangeli sinottici mentre l’apostolo Paolo, ad esempio, nell’”Inno alla carità” della prima lettera ai Corinzi ritiene positivo il fatto di essere cresciuto all’età adulta. Gesù presenta ai suoi discepoli anche l’ideale di abbandonare la vita familiare per la vita spirituale. Nelle lettere ai Colossesi ed agli Efesini troviamo brani che parlano del modello antico della famiglia e dell’educazione dei figli che i cristiani accettano anche se dovrebbero migliorarli attraverso la vita nella fede. Secondo san Paolo è meglio che l’uomo rimanga senza donna ma coloro che si sposano devono osservare rigorosamente la monogamia ed educare adeguatamente i propri figli. Nel corso della storia la Chiesa cattolica riconobbe il celibato come modo adeguato di vita per gli ecclesiastici. La normativa canonica matrimoniale ed i parametri fondamentali dell’educazione della prole continuano a fondarsi sulla pratica degli inizi della Chiesa documentata nelle scritture del Nuovo Testamento. |
