Abstract: This work analyzed, from a missionary point of
view, carried out in the Diocese of Óbidos - PA, specifically, in the city of
Juruti, where the Nossa Senhora da Saúde parish is located, composed of more
than 105 urban, rural and riverside communities, the reception of the Second
Vatican Council, above all, from the CNBB Document 100, “Community of
communities: a new parish. The Pastoral Conversion of the Parish”. This
document, released in 2014, rescues the ideals of Vatican II, reflecting,
analyzing and proposing the positions of the various parishes in a
church-communion, sister-church perspective. It was also possible to identify
that the proposals brought by the Brazilian Episcopal Conference have as a
"starting point" the ecclesial life of the communities established in
the Amazon region, where this is ahead of the other Brazilian regions and the
respective Dioceses. In light of Vatican II, Document 100 gave us the
impression of being produced from a case study, which was proposed to the other
Dioceses of Brazil, still reminding us of the Aparecida Document, released in
2007, where the sub-theme was addressed: “The parish, community of community”.
With this, it was reflected that the model of Church experienced in the Amazon
region, brings concrete and vital elements inspired since Vatican II, and helps
to rethink the models of Church in the rest of the country. Having experienced
such a context, it can be that the Church in the Amazon demonstrated the
possible effectiveness of Vatican II today, opening paths and rehearsing a new
model of Church-communion, having as a guiding and systematic thread the
Santarém Documents (1972) and Manaus (1997).
Keywords: Vatican II; Amazon; Missionary Church; Santarém; Manaus.
