Abstract

The article proposes a particular reinterpretation of ecclesiology through a mereologic model, in order to describe the community in its dynamism and interrelation, in communication with tradition and the magisterium council. Mereology, studies starting from the One and then to the parts, it looks at the One so that, the final point will not be exclusively of the communion We, but, the One, known as the original point from which we start and where we arrive. From this perspective of unity, the implications, from an ecumenical point of view are very interesting.
