Document Details : Title: Congar, Architect of the Unam Sanctam Author(s): MELLONI, Alberto Journal: Louvain Studies Volume: 29 Issue: 3-4 Date: fall-winter 2004 Pages: 222-238 DOI: 10.2143/LS.29.3.583141 Abstract : This paper shows that if there is a single theme running through Congar’s intellectual development, it is the Church. Beginning with the struggle of the pre-Vatican II Church against “modernizing forces,” it is argued that the ecclesiastical system at the heart of the Catholic Church constitutes the greatest threat to the unam sanctam. Congar is shown to be an “indefatigable explorer” within a vast slow Church reintroducing two processes from which the Church had cut itself off, namely, unity and modernity. |
