Divine grace can, of course, be bestowed on the individual believer as an enlightening and liberating gift. But in particular through the sacramental acts of liturgy, it also lives in our history, where it is inscribed as one of the ‘instituting traces of the Kingdom'. How can we avoid seeing the ways of grace in our world and in our history as chaotic paths of a fragile and sinning humanity? ‘Traces' are of course fragile and fugitive evidence, yet these are instituting traces, they bear fruit, they produce a work. The classical Catholic approach presents Christ as the founder of the Church and the institutions that structure it consequently the Church constitutes a principle of authority and a source of ecclesial law. From it emanate the hierarchical authority of ministries and the legal organisation that governs the body of the Church. According to the pneumatological approach, either the Spirit is reduced to a mere agent sent by Christ to serve and breathe life into his Church through its members and its acts of grace in men's hearts, or charismatic freedom takes the front to such an extent that it enters into conflict with the ecclesial institutions. Rémi Chéno retraces the history of such antagonisms - of Protestant origin - between the institution and communion, and the sociological-type approaches that have been attempted. The author pays reverence to the history of institutionalist theory, especially in the work of the jurist Maurice Hauriou, founder of the French institutionalist school. Also to the search for a theological foundation for institutional law, as observed in the work the Lutherian Hans Dombois. Both delineate the outlines of this reflection in which he elaborates a theology of the institution placed under the eschatological sign of the Kingdom, where the Spirit's acts of grace appear as an insitituting process that gives Christ his entire Body, the Church. In this thesis, resolutely innovating and couragous, Rémi Chéno attempts to reach beyond the false dialectics that invaded ecclesiological discourse by proposing a theology of the institution rooted in a theology of the Spirit.
