2 Dulles admits that the notion of jurisdiction is culturally derived. He writes that even after the seventeenth century clarifications of the distinctions between secular and ecclesiastical, “still the papacy was studied principally in terms of the category of power. With the development of the doctrine of sovereignty in political theory, primacy came to be seen as the supreme jurisdiction enjoyed by the ruler of a ‘perfect society’” (The Catholicity of the Church [Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1985], pp. 137–38Google Scholar). Now that other paradigms of society are available, what is to prevent ecclesiology from correcting the absolutism that negatively affected the theological definition of Church offices?
