 abstract={The progressive sociologization and psychologization of the Church today leads not only to a reduction of its supernatural dimension, but paradoxically undermines and rejects the inalienability of its institutionality. However, the existence of the institution of the community of believers is crucial to the preservation above all of its sacramental ministry of sanctification and salvation of believers, not to mention the irreplaceable social role of the universal Church throughout the world. It is a fact that every community needs various institutions, fulfilling certain functions within it and maintaining social order, which serves the general good. In the above analyses, the aim is to show that at least the same is true of the communio Ecclesiae. Second Vatican Council aptly stated: "The earthly Church and the Church – rich in gifts heavenly – cannot be conceived as two separate things, on the contrary, they form one composite reality, which grows out of the divine and human elements" (CC 1). The mysteriousness of ecclesial institutionalism is anchored is in the Church's dual nature: divine and human (theandrism). The mystical nature of the ecclesial community is linked to not only its historical and rational condi-tions, but above all with the sacramental giving of the gifts of redemption, which is rooted in the Trinitarian ecclesiogenesis, and above all in the mystery of the Incarnation, which defines the essence, nature and mission of the Church.},
