Dei Verbum

The work of the Austrian dialogical thinker, Ferdinand Ebner, had both a direct and an indirect influence on the development of the Sacrament of Penance after Vatican Council II. Ebner's notion that humans are given the "word" by God, who is the "Eternal Thou," informed Vatican II's deepening theology of the word. Sin is understood as a rejection of dialogue, a closing of oneself to the Thou, for which authentic sacramental Confession offers the remedy, in and through the miracle of God's gift of speaking to humans. Ebner's influence on Vatican II is direct, especially in the elaboration of the "Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation," Dei Verbum, while his influence on the New Rite of Penance is indirect - reflected in a deeper theology of the word that had already been "absorbed" by the Council. There are implications for further study of Ebner's thought as a prism through which to apply other language philosophies to better understand the Sacrament of Confession.

Em diálogo com a leitura de John W. O’Malley sobre o Concílio Vaticano II, o presente artigo analisa seu corpus textual e se pergunta sobre seu “estilo pastoral”. Desde sua preparação, o Concílio se caracterizou por um processo de intercompreensão conciliar e ecumênica. Seu estilo afastou-se das fórmulas canônicas, eliminando os anátemas e aproximando-se do estilo evocativo, bíblico (narrativo, parenético, deliberativo, doxológico). Os preâmbulos das Constituições Dei Verbum, Sacrosanctum Concilium, Lumen Gentium e Gaudium et Spes permitem avaliar esse “estilo pastoral” e as consequências para a recepção visível na exortação Evangelii nuntiandi, na encíclica Ut unum sint e no encontro inter-religioso de Assis em 1986. À guisa de conclusão, recorda que o estilo cria o mundo que o texto habita. Daí o valor heurístico desta abordagem na análise da recepção do Vaticano II e a determinação de uma autêntica fidelidade ao espírito e à letra do Concílio, em contraste com outros textos que revelam o conflito entre esse “estilo pastoral” e a tradição dogmática.ABSTRACT: In dialogue with the reading of John W. O’Malley on the Second Vatican Council this article analyzes its textual corpus and questions its “pastoral style.” Since its preparation, the Council was characterized by a process of conciliar and ecumenical mutual understanding. Its style departed from the canonical formulas, eliminating the anathemas and approaching the evocative style, Biblical (narrative, parenetical, deliberative, doxological). The preambles of the Constitutions Dei Verbum, Sacrosanctum Concilium, Lumen Gentium and Gaudium et Spes assess this “pastoral style” and the consequences for the visible reception in the exhortation Evangelii nuntiandi, in the Encyclical Ut unum sint and in the interreligious meeting in Assisi in 1986. By way of conclusion it points out that the style creates the world in which the text dwells. Hence the heuristic value of this approach in the analysis of the reception of Vatican II and the determination of an authentic fidelity to the spirit and to the literal meaning of the Council, in contrast with other texts that reveal the conflict between this “pastoral style” and the dogmatic tradition.

Article presents the history of contradiction between science and the Bible and how it was solved in Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation Dei Verbum of the II Vatican Council. Since biblical truth was given to us “for the sake of our salvation,” and not in order to teach us natural science or history for their own sake, Sacred Scripture cannot be fairly judged to be in error when it sometimes presents historical or scientific truth in a less complete, less detailed, more popular, or more imprecise (i.e. merely approximate) fashion than would be acceptable in modern texts dedicated formally to those disciplines.

Key Concepts

This study aims at presenting the novelty in the ideas on the Word, divine revelation and biblical interpretation, as resulting from the works of the Second Vatican Council. The very title of the constitution on Revelation, “Dei Verbum” - the Word of God, is significant in itself. The work focuses on the three key concepts, with the intent of highlighting their specificity and importance. In the background, one can notice the desire to be opened, the wish for dialogue and communion, as elements the Council was based on. Finally, we present some aspects for the interpretation of the Scripture at the beginning of this millennium.

The Catholic Church

In the twentieth century, the Dominicans and the Jesuits have gone from being adversaries to rivals to collaborators in the contentious field of modern biblical studies. In 1890, the Dominican Marie-Joseph Lagrange founded the École Biblique in Jerusalem, which quickly became the premier school in the Catholic Church for the growing field of modern biblical studies. Opposition to this project grew among the Jesuits, led by Leopold Fonck, who in 1910 founded a rival school in Rome, the Pontifical Biblical Institute, which garnered papal favor and exclusive rights to confer pontifical degrees. Tensions in biblical studies between the two groups persisted until 1943 when they collaborated on ghost-writing the papal encyclical Divino afflante spiritu. Their relationship continued to improve, so that by the time of the Second Vatican Council, they collaborated strongly on its constitution on divine revelation, Dei verbum.

Virgilio Elizondo

The influence of Vatican II and the conciliar era on Virgilio Elizondo’s theology is insufficiently acknowledged. In particular, he contended Dei Verbum teaches that the Scriptures and Christian tradition not only testify to the past words and deeds of God, but also instruct us in divine pedagogy. He further insisted that the poor and marginal are the privileged bearers of divine revelation, so these and all sources of faith must be engaged through their eyes. Elizondo’s theological investigations offer striking insights into Dei Verbum and the divine pedagogy it expounds.

The Council Fathers at Vatican II struggled to negotiate the Council's teaching on divine revelation with regard to the teaching of Trent, but more immediately with regard to the modern theology of the Magisterium and the modern value of historical criticism that had recently been recognized by Pius XII as having a legitimate role in the interpretation of Scripture. Dei Verbum's teaching stressed the unity of Scripture and tradition in the revelation of God's word, but never considered the role of historical criticism in the interpretation of God's word in tradition that it affirmed in God's revelation in the biblical word. This article argues that the recognition of the legitimate role of historical criticism in the interpretation of tradition remains an issue of needed development in the teaching of Dei Verbum.

Sticking Point

AbstractThe Vatican II Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation Dei Verbum is replete with affirmations about the nature of revelation and the authority of Scripture which Baptists can affirm, but the seeming equation of the authority of Scripture and tradition in article 9 is a sticking point that must be addressed before proceeding to other points of difference that owe much to differing perspectives on the authority of tradition. A close reading of article 9 highlights points of Baptist disagreement even while revealing some openings for a Baptist appreciation of the trajectory in the development of Catholic teaching on tradition evident in this text. Baptists cannot offer an unqualified endorsement of article 9, but they can find a place within the pattern of theological contestation that produced it. This text with which Baptists cannot unequivocally agree thus points to a larger opening for convergence between Roman Catholics in their practice of conciliar contestation and Baptists in their identity as dissenting catholics.

Continuity And Discontinuity

This book sheds further light on the nature of church reform and the roots of the Second Vatican Council (1962–65) through a study of eighteenth-century Catholic reformers who anticipated the Council. The most striking of these examples is the Synod of Pistoia (1786), the high-water mark of late Jansenism. Most of the reforms of the Synod were harshly condemned by Pope Pius VI in the bull Auctorem fidei (1794), and late Jansenism was totally discredited in the ultramontane nineteenth-century Church. Nevertheless, much of the Pistoian agenda—such as an exaltation of the role of bishops, an emphasis on infallibility as a gift to the entire Church, religious liberty, a simpler and more comprehensible liturgy that incorporates the vernacular, and the encouragement of lay Bible reading and Christocentric devotions—was officially promulgated at Vatican II. The career of Bishop Scipione de’ Ricci (1741–1810) and the famous Synod he convened are investigated in detail. The international reception (and rejection) of the Synod sheds light on why these reforms failed, and the criteria of Yves Congar are used to judge the Pistoian Synod as “true or false reform.” This book proves that the Synod was a “ghost” present at Vatican II. The council fathers struggled with, and ultimately enacted, many of the same ideas. This study complexifies the story of the roots of the Council and Pope Benedict XVI’s “hermeneutic of reform,” which seeks to interpret Vatican II as in “continuity and discontinuity on different levels” with past teaching and practice.

The Church

The Second Vatican Council and, in particular, its Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, changed much in the daily life of the Church. In Ireland, a country steeped in the Catholic tradition but largely peripheral to the theological debates that shaped Vatican II, the changes to liturgy and devotional practice were implemented dutifully over a relatively short time span and without significant upset. But did the hierarchical manner of their reception, like that of the Council itself, mean that Irish Catholics did not receive the changes in a way that deepened their spirituality? And was the popular religious memory of the people lost through a neglect of liturgical piety and its place in the interior life, alongside what the Council sought to achieve? In this essay, Dr Gary Carville will examine the background to the liturgical changes at Vatican II, the contribution to their formulation and implementation by leaders of the Church in Ireland, the experiences of Irish Catholic communities in the reception process, and the ongoing need for a liturgical formation that brings theology, memory, and practice into greater dialogue.
