WHAT DOES ECCLESIAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

ecclesial

Ecclesial Community

An ecclesial community is, in Catholic terminology, a Christian religious group that does not meet the Catholic definition of a "Church". Although the word "ecclesial" itself means "church" or "gathering" in a political sense in the Koine Greek, the Catholic Church applies the term "Church" in the proper sense only to Christian communities that, in the Catholic Church's view, "have true sacraments and above all – because of the apostolic succession – the priesthood and the Eucharist". The Catholic Church formally recognizes as "Churches" of a nature similar to its own particular Churches the Eastern Churches separated from full communion with it, namely those of Eastern Orthodoxy, Oriental Orthodoxy, and Church of the East. It has not denied the claim of some communities of Western Christianity to meet its definition of "Church". Indeed, by referring to "The Separated Churches and Ecclesial Communities in the West", the Second Vatican Council recognized the existence of some Western Churches that are not in full communion with the Holy See.
