Abstract In recent years, the Roman Catholic Church has seen an increase in pastoral education programs, literature, and other resources on church management. Though positive outcomes have been noted, there is much room for improvement in the way management ideas have been applied to the ecclesial context. This article examines patterns of engagement with management science in Catholic pastoral resources, and notes the key conflicts that have arisen. It then outlines considerations for a way forward in the inter-disciplinary engagement. These include the need for recognition of the limitations of management, critical reflexivity in the appropriation of management ideas, and dialogical discernment in the application of the faith tradition towards improving management theory and practice.

他们对教会管理有何看法？继续进行的模式、问题和注意事项

摘要 近年来，罗马天主教会增加了有关教会管理的教牧教育计划、文献和其他资源。尽管已经取得了积极的成果，但管理理念在教会环境中的应用方式仍有很大的改进空间。本文研究了天主教教牧资源中管理科学的参与模式，并指出了出现的关键冲突。然后概述了跨学科参与的前进方向的考虑因素。这些包括需要承认管理的局限性，需要对管理理念的运用进行批判性反思，以及在应用信仰传统以改进管理理论和实践方面的对话辨别力。
