in Catholic Major Seminaries

天主教大修院

培育自我评估问卷

(简体版）

Preliminary Remarks

Purpose of Questionnaire

The Commission for the Catholic Church in China, since the beginning of its work in 2007, has been concerned with the formation in the Major Seminaries in China. This Questionnaire aims at reaching a general assessment I) of the Formation guidelines followed by the formators and II) of the objective situation in Major Seminaries. Some questions are also added on III) Vocational Discernment and IV) Admission of the candidates to the seminary.

This Questionnaire, based upon the general standard for any Catholic Major Seminary in the world, is recommended to be used for the assessment of Major Seminaries in China by concerned Church authorities.

前言

问卷目的

圣座中国教会问题委员会，自二零零七年展开工作以来，就关心中国天主教大修院的培育。此问卷乃根据全球各大修院的普遍准则写成，现推荐给有关的教会权威，作为中国各大修院自我评估之用。

本问卷旨在收集总体评估意见，范围包括：

1. 培育者所依据的培育指引；

2. 中国各大修院之客观实况。

也有部分问题关于：

3. 圣召辨别；

4. 大修院候选人的录取要求。

1.      Levels and Ways of Conducting the Questionnaire

* The first and the most basic level is from the inside of the Seminary itself. The second level would require “someone” (e.g. a formator from another Seminary) outside the Seminary who acts in a friendly way as a “Visitor”. The first two levels are meant to collect information (both from inside and outside). The third level is that of interpreting the responses to the questionnaire by relevant Church authorities .

 * All Respondents should provide name, position, age, years in priesthood (if applicable)

进行的层次与方法

* 问卷分三个层次进行：首先，最基本的从修院本身开始。其次，邀请一位本修院以外的人士（例如：另一修院的培育者）前来作友好善意的评估。这两层次评估的目的，是为了收集信息（包括本身及外来观察所得）。第三，由有关的教会权威阐释回复问卷的意见。

* 所有问卷回复者，必须填写姓名、年龄、晋铎年资（如果合适）。

2.      Confidentiality and Cautiousness

The assessment itself is a delicate matter. Due caution is to be taken so as to give confidence to people who provide information.

保密和谨慎原则

这项“评估”是一件重要的事，必须谨慎处理，使回答问卷的人士有信心和真诚地提供信息。

I)  Formation Guidelines

培育指引

A.     Basic Belief

基本信念

By Formation we mean a journey of faith in which a seminarian experiences a joyous response to God’s call through the process of discernment, human and spiritual development.

培育：指修生的信仰旅程，透过明辨及人格与灵修发展的过程，经验到对天主的召叫之欢欣回应。

A journey of faith means that the seminarian is an active subject, who, nourished by his faith, cooperates with God in shaping of his own personality in light of Jesus Christ, the model of Priest. The journey though indicating a life-long process will be better divided into two stages: initial formation (within the context of Seminary) and on-going formation after the priestly ordination.

信仰旅程：修生是修院培育的主体，他有信仰滋养，与天主合作，按照神父的典范耶稣基督，塑造自己的人格，迈向铎职。尽管这信仰旅程是毕生的过程，但评估时最好分开两个阶段：初期培育（在修院受训阶段）以及晋铎后的持续培育。

God’s call, here, specifically points to the priestly vocation.

天主的召叫：这专门指向司铎圣召。

Joyous response indicates the quality of this journey.

喜悦回应：显示这信仰旅程的素质。

Process is ruled by principles of human maturation, namely graduality, differentiation (in terms of time and contents), models, and accompaniment by formators.

过程：受人格成熟的原则所规范，诸如：渐进程度、区分（以时间和内容）、模式、培育者的同行情况。

Discernment, here, means heightening awareness of being called, interpreting signs arising from daily life, and increasing joy and enthusiasm.

明辨：这指提高召叫的意识，分析日常生活的征兆，以及增进喜乐与热忱。

Development refers to cultivating abilities both spiritually and pastorally.

发展：指培养灵修和牧民方面的才能。

B. Human Formation

人格培育

The human personality of the priest is to be a bridge for others in their meeting with Jesus. As the humanity of the Word made flesh was the instrumentum salutis, so the humanity of a priest is instrumental in mediating the redemptive gifts.

Human formation includes all those elements pertaining to human development, and in particular, physical fitness (health), affection (sexual awareness, friendship, intimacy, and sense of belonging), self-knowledge, self-acceptance, self-gift, and capability to properly deal with different kinds of people and situations.

　司铎的人格，要成为别人与耶稣相遇的桥梁。圣言成了血肉的人性是“救恩工具”（instrumentum salutis），所以司铎的人性是传达救赎恩赐的工具。

　人格培育，包括所有人格发展的元素，尤其是体能（健康）、情感（性欲意识、友谊、亲密友好、归属感）、自我认识、自我接纳、天赋才能、有能力妥善应付不同类型的人和处境。

E.       Pastoral Formation

牧民培育

   “The whole formation imparted to candidates for the priesthood aims at preparing them to enter into communion with the charity of Christ the Good Shepherd. Hence, their formation in its different aspects must have a fundamentally pastoral character” (PDV 57).

    The priest should be able to stand and act in the community in the name and person of Jesus Christ, Head and Shepherd of the Church. It requires to cultivate abilities in the fields of preaching, celebrating liturgy, building Christian community, mission ad gentes, cultural knowledge, and social concerns.

“给予司铎候选人的整个培育的目的，是为准备他们进入与基督善牧的爱的共融。因此，以其不同观点来说，他们的培育应具备基本牧灵的特性。”（《我要给你们牧者》宗座劝谕(Pastores dabo vobis)，57）

司铎应当以教会首领和牧者耶稣基督的名义及身分，在团体中立身和行事。这要求培育他，使之有能力从事宣讲、举行礼仪、建立基督徒团体、向教外人福传、文化知识，以及社会关怀事务。

III) Vocational Discernment

　 分辨圣召

Vocational Discernment is the process of analyzing, understanding, and evaluating signs, expressions, and elements of an individual personality through which the Holy Spirit indicates that a particular candidate is called to the priestly life. The Bishop should appoint some delegates, preferably members of the formators’ team of the seminary, who keep contacts with the candidates, with their parish priest and their family, in order to carry on the screening process of the signs of their vocation, in a gradual manner. 

Potential candidates for the priesthood must be in prayerful dialogue with God and with the Bishop’s delegates to discern their vocation. Eventually, this dialogue may come to some conclusion. When a candidate’s “suitability” emerges in a clear way from the discernment, he may be advised to apply for the admission to the Seminary. Dioceses and Seminaries must have a clear Admission Policy, which can be regularly reviewed and updated. When a candidate’s “suitability” does not emerge from the discernment, he may be asked to give up or to delay the process.

分辨圣召是对个别候选人的征兆、表现及因素，进行分析、理解以及评估的过程；透过圣神，它能指出个别候选人确被召选度司铎的生活。主教应当任命一些代表，最好是修院培育组的成员，他们可联络修道候选人、他的堂区司铎和家人，以渐进方式进行甄选过程，识别他们圣召的征兆。

具有潜质的司铎候选人，必须多祈祷或与天主对话，以及与主教的代表一起分辨他的圣召。最终，这种对话会达致一定的结论。一旦候选人的适合程度会从分辨中显露出来，就可建议他申请加入修院。教区及修院必须有一个清晰的收录政策，但必须定期检讨和更新。当一个候选人的适合程度未能从分辨中显露出来，他或许被邀请放弃或延迟这个过程。

A. Are some formators appointed for the vocational discernment and does a discernment procedure exist?                                                                      Specify
