IV CONFERENCIA GENERAL DEL EPISCOPADO LATINOAMERICANO 457
de stas viene a ser realmente remoto y la vinculacin de estas dos potestades con la de
santificar queda de alguna manera tambin comprometida. Las dificultades concretas para
explicar la potestad ordinaria de magisterio en las conferencias a fortiori en una
Asamblea general del Episcopado latinoamericano es para esos canonistas poco menos
que insuperables. De acto magisterial hablan ellos slo en tres hiptesis; 1. cuando la
conferencia recibe un mandato especifico de la autoridad suprema para una tal interven
cin; 2. sus declaraciones no son sino la mera insistencia en la doctrina comun del
magisterio ordinario del papa y del colegio episcopal disperso por el mundo; 3. una
declaracin doctrinal de la conferencia episcopal en fin de cuentas no es sino la suma del
magisterio de cada obispo que ensefia a sus fieles conjuntamente con los dems obispos
reunidos en la conferencia. Dada est fundamentacin sacramentai del munus episcopale
con todas sus funciones, dificilmente se explica, desde el punto de vista teolgico, por qu
no se reconoce a las conferencias de obispos una funcin magisterial, mientras el Christus
Dominus (III, 38 4) y el nuevo CIC (c. 455) les reconocen potestad decisoria en el
ejercicio de munus pastorale, naturalmente en las circunstancias y casos determinados en
ambos documentos: cf. A. Anton, Conferencias Episcopales, pp. 254-262. 307-436.
