Homiletic & Pastoral Review
What does it mean to be “pastoral”?
by Fr. Kenneth Baker SJ
The term “pastoral” comes from the Latin, pastor, meaning “shepherd,” and thus refers to the work and concern of the shepherd for his sheep.
In the current ecclesiastical jargon, what is the meaning of the word “pastoral”? The term was frequently used to describe Pope John Paul I during his very short reign. He was said to be a “pastoral” pope, presumably because he was close to his people in Venice, and in his first diocese, Vittorio Veneto. The term also seemed to stand in opposition to “curial,” since he had never been a part of the Roman Curia, nor had he been a Vatican diplomat, such as his four predecessors, Paul VI, John XXIII, Pius XI, and Pius XII.
Again, in the sad weeks between the sudden death of John Paul I, and the election of Blessed John Paul II, much was said and written about the need for a “pastoral” Pope. When certain journalists, theologians and ecclesiastics stress the need for a “pastoral” Pope, what do they really mean?
