In the ongoing aggiornamento of the aggiornamento of Vatican II by Pope Francis, it would be easy to forget or dismiss the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of Vatican I (1869–1870). The council planned (since at least the Syllabus of Errors of 1864), shaped, and influenced by Pius IX was the most important ecclesial event in the lives of those who made Vatican II: almost a thousand of the council fathers of Vatican II were born between 1871 and 1900. Vatican I was in itself also a kind of ultramontanist “modernization” of the Roman Catholic Church, which paved the way for the aggiornamento of Vatican II and still shapes the post–Vatican II church especially for what concerns the Petrine ministry.

A colegialidade episcopal constitui um dos mais importantes temas eclesiológicos do Concílio Vaticano II. Com o intuito de fazer contrapeso ao ensinamento do Concílio Vaticano I sobre o ministério petrino, os Padres conciliares, no Vaticano II, acentuaram o valor no episcopado e explicitaram a forma colegial como aquela própria do governo eclesiástico. É de se lamentar, contudo, que os caminhos abertos pelo Vaticano II em termos de colegialidade episcopal não tenham sido ainda trilhados, o que traria frutos para a vida eclesial como um todo, e para o progresso do ecumenismo em particular. Já passados quarenta anos da conclusão do Vaticano II, as Conferências Episcopais não gozam da autonomia que mereceriam enquanto lugar natural de se praticar a colegialidade, e o Sínodo dos Bispos, por seu turno, não se tem mostrado como instrumento apto a promover uma maior comunhão entre os prelados e, conseqüentemente, entre as Igrejas locais.ABSTRACT: Episcopal collegiality constitutes one of the most important ecclesiological themes of Vatican II. In order to counterbalance Vatican I teachings on the Petrine ministry, during the Vatican II the conciliar Fathers emphasized the camvalue of the episcopacy and the collegiality as the way of ecclesiastical government. It is regrettable, however, that the ways opened by the Vatican II in terms of Episcopal collegiality have not been trod yet. This would have bore fruits to the ecclesial life as a whole, and to the progress of ecumenism in particular. It has been forty years since the Vatican II conclusion and the Episcopal Conferences do not enjoy the autonomy they would deserve as natural place of practicing the collegiality. Similarly, the Synod of Bishops has not been working as an apt instrument to promote a greater communion among the prelates and, consequently, among the local Churches.

Centenaries are supposed to be occasions when we take stock of the event we are commemorating. In the light of developments in the last hundred years how does the work of the First Vatican Council look today? And since it so happens that the hundred years in question includes the Second Vatican Council, recently concluded, it is natural to put the question in this form: how does the work of Vatican I look today, in the light of Vatican II?I think it would be fair to say that it is widely considered that the work of Vatican I was a little unfortunate, and has since proved embarrassing, because its definitions enhanced the authority of the papacy. Vatican II is supposed to have helped to redress that balance by disclosing the nature of the Church as a whole, from the bishops down to the People of God, or perhaps I should say from the bishops up to the People of God, in view of our preference nowadays for turning everything upside down. Such critics of Vatican I are not, of course, denying either the dogmatic infallibility or the juridical primacy of the Pope, which were defined at that Council; but they are saying that it is a distortion to stress the powers of the papacy and to neglect the powers of the college of bishops or the rights of the rest of the Church, and they are saying that the one-sided definitions of Vatican I tended to create such distortion in men’s minds until they were balanced by the pronouncements of Vatican II.
