Ecclesial movements currently occupy an important place in the Catholic Church. One may even consider that the ‘Church of movements’ has taken control in this period of advanced modernity, in opposition to the ‘parochial civilisation’ that marked Catholicism for centuries. The ‘charismatic Church’ comes to the help of the ‘hierarchical Church’, which is now struggling with some difficulties. This article examines the tension between parishes and movements that has broadly-speaking arisen from the emancipation of the individual in relation to territory and the construction of new living spaces. There emerges, as a consequence, a tendency to build the Church on the basis of affinity and of similarity (of means, age, choices…) more than on the basis of belonging to a given territory. This tension, however, already manifested itself prior to the Council, and infiltrated the Conciliar debates before making a leap forward in recent years with the explosion of movements.
