  • Fair Game Or Foul?
    Volume 9, Number 4 Fellowship of Catholic Scholars Newsletter September 1986 Fair Game or Foul? The appointment by the Holy See of Fellowship members William May of the Catholic University of America and John Finnis of Oxford University to the International Theological Commission is a well deserved recognition of two scholars whose research talents have been well known for years, not less so than their firm and full commitment to the meaning and integrity of the Catholic faith. They are also obedient sons of the Church, who recognize that the final judge of their work-if it touches the truth of the Catholic faith-is magisterium. These virtues-intelligence, industry, faith, fidelity, humility, obedience, prayerfullness, are necessary compo- nents of anyone who aspires to be a Catholic theologian. One can study the world's experience with religious thought without being a theologian. One can be a scholar in religious matters without being a Christian, certainly without being a Catholic theologian. But the Catholic theologian, is exercising a "genuinely ecclesial authority," which he usually derives from his ca- nonical mission. He is sent by pope and bishops to preach and teach in a way no different than the apostles who were sent by Christ. Even if this canonical mission has not been explicated, theologizing can only be done in communion with the faith, and this means in communion with the magisterium. Who said this? The International Theological Commission (ITHC) in 1976, following five years of meetings over the relationship of Catholic theology to the magisterium. ITHC, with theologians like Yves Congars, Barnabas Ahern, Philip Delhaye participating, published twelve theses which situated Catholic theologians "in medio ecclesiae," subject to the magis- terium.

Muench told New Roads native Bishop Shelton J. Fabre, who had just been appointed Bishop of the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux. Bishop Fabre, in turn, smiled as he shared his new experience dealing with the press and the Vatican. “One thing you learn is nothing is ever final until it is in writing,” he said with a laugh. The two bishops, who in spite of their contrasting styles share a common bond, met briefly at the Catholic Life Center on Sept. 27. Earlier in the week, Pope Francis appointed 49-year-old Bish- op Fabre, who had been auxiliary bishop in the Archdiocese of New Orleans for the past six years, as the fourth bishop of the Houma-Thibodaux diocese. On a visit to Baton Rouge, Bishop Fabre said the message of Pope Francis resonates with him “personally and with my min- istry as bishop. “The pope is not changing any church teaching. What he is say- ing is we have to speak the truth, but we have to speak the truth in love.
