 abstract={The article addresses the problem of framing ecclesiology in the key of corporeality. The discovery of the importance of the body for ecclesiology is linked in modern times to the renaissance of this Pauline category of thinking about the Church. It culminated in Pius XII's encyclical Mystici corporis, published in 1943, and Henry de Lubac's original and groundbreaking historical and theological study Corpus mysticum (1944). The fruits of his historical research paved the way for the great dogmatic magisterial syntheses found in Sacrosanctum Concilium, Lumen Gentium and Ecclesia de Eucharistia. As much as the aforementioned texts focus on the sacramental understanding of the Church, they also point to the importance of the idea of corporeality (linked to the mystery of the incarnation) in the construction of ecclesiological theories. In such a perspective, it seems that the pressing task of ecclesiology is to return to the idea of the Church as the Body of Christ. This idea has not been abandoned or marginalized, as is sometimes thought, in the texts of the last Council. On the contrary, this Council's renewed approach to ecclesiology can and should be interpreted in continuity with the ecclesiology of the body. Contem-porary syntheses of ecclesiology along the lines of the theology of the body can therefore draw important intuitions from the legacy of the Council. The exuberant development of a theology of the body in the wojtylian phenomenological key may become an additional factor in their development.},
