University of Dayton Advisor: William L. Portier, Ph.D. Yves Congar’s theology of the laity and ministries is unified on the basis of his adaptation of Christ’s triplex munera to the laity and his specification of ministry as one aspect of the laity’s participation in Christ’s triplex munera. The seminal insight of Congar’s adaptation of the triplex munera is illumined by situating his work within his historical and ecclesiological context. The U.S. reception of Congar’s work on the laity and ministries, however, evinces that Congar’s principle insight has received a mixed reception by Catholic theologians in the United States due to their own historical context as well as their specific constructive theological concerns over the laity’s secularity, or the priority given to lay ministry over the notion of a laity.

Portier, Ph.D. In its analysis of mystical body of Christ theology in the twentieth century, this dissertation identifies three major streams of mystical body theology operative in the early part of the century: the Roman, the German-Romantic, and the French-Social- Liturgical. Delineating these three streams of mystical body theology sheds light on the diversity of scholarly positions concerning the heritage of mystical body theology, on its mid twentieth-century recession, as well as on Pope Pius XII’s 1943 encyclical, Mystici Corporis Christi, which enshrined “mystical body of Christ” in Catholic magisterial teaching. Further, it links the work of Virgil Michel and Louis-Marie Chauvet, two scholars remote from each other on several fronts, in the long, winding French stream.

  • The Contribution of Yves Congar's Theology of The
    Theological Studies 62 (2001) THE CONTRIBUTION OF YVES CONGAR’S THEOLOGY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ELIZABETH TERESA GROPPE [The author highlights one of the primary contributions of Yves Congar’s pneumatology. In contrast to early-20th-century Roman Catholic theology that divorced reflection on the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the human person from a systematic ecclesiology, Congar developed a theology of personal indwelling that was in- separable from a theology of the Church. The author then illustrates the fruitfulness of Congar’s approach by using his theology con- structively to address the postconciliar discussion as to whether the Catholic Church is a hierarchy or a democracy.] RENCH DOMINICAN YVES CONGAR (1904–1995) expressed a desire to be F an Aeolian harp upon which the Spirit of God would blow, releasing harmonious melodies.1 His life of dedicated prayer, service, and scholar- ship were all signs of his fidelity to this calling. Indeed, Congar was not only an instrument of the Spirit of God, but also a theologian of the Spirit. Years before pneumatology became a prominent topic in Roman Catholic the- ology, he was addressing the theology of the Holy Spirit in many of his books and articles.2 This work culminated in the three volume I Believe in the Holy Spirit and the subsequent monograph The Word and the Spirit.3 Congar believed that it is more important to live in the Spirit than to try to ELIZABETH TERESA GROPPE is assistant professor of systematic theology at Xavier University, Cincinnati, Ohio.

  • Yves Congar: Apostle of Patience
    Australian eJournal of Theology 4 (February 2005) Yves Congar: Apostle of Patience Robert Nugent SDS Abstract: Yves Congar, a French Dominican priest, was one of the pioneers in the Church's theology of ecumenism and the place of the laity in the Church. As with most pioneers breaking new ground and exploring new avenues, he encountered suspicion, hostility and active opposition and sanctions from Church authorities. For a time, he was banned for ecumenical work including speaking and lectures and banished from France to Rome and England. During all this he managed to maintain a deep love for the Church and a loyalty to his Order and to his deeply felt insights. His scholarly work has had a profound impact on contemporary theology. Eventually, he was exonerated and became one of the most influential theologians at the Second Vatican Council. Shortly before his death he was made a cardinal of the Church. Key Words: Yves Congar; ecumenism; 20th century Catholic theology; Vatican II; magisterium-academic relations; Catholic reform; Dominican scholarship he year 2004 marked the 100th anniversary of the births of four theological giants of the 20th century: Karl Rahner, Bernard Lonergan, John Courtney Murray and Yves Congar.

  • An Ecumenical Colloquium on Yves Congar: His Pneumatology
    • CTSA PROCEEDINGS 51 (1996): 163-87 • AN ECUMENICAL COLLOQUIUM ON YVES CONGAR: HIS PNEUMATOLOGY Although many references are made to Cardinal Yves M.-J. Congar, O.P. (1904-1995), throughout these Proceedings, one of the presidentially invited sessions focused on Congar's Pneumatology alone. This was unique in the history of the Catholic Theological Society of America. As far as we could determine, no annual meeting of the CTSA had had a session carved out just for Congar studies like this one. Had this colloquium on Congar's theology been convoked even a year earlier, we might have had the opportunity to hear from him directly. As it so happened, though, he died on 22 June 1995. In his place, the following message from France was delivered to the gathering in San Diego: "The Dominicans who have been the closest to Fr. Yves Congar and his disciples are delighted with the Colloquium on Congar at the annual meeting of the Catholic Theological Society of America.'" The most important aspect of this gathering was that representatives of non- Catholic churches participate. The intention was to establish a precedent that any future Congar sessions in the CTSA would always be ecumenical. To remain true to Congar's "ecumenical vocation," colloquia dedicated to his theology should be characterized by both an ecumenical dimension and a dialogical dimension. A significant number of participants expressed the hope that a Congar Group, or even a Congar Society, within the CTSA would arise out of this special gathering. Three papers were presented at this inaugural ecumenical colloquium on Yves Congar.

  • Orthodox Influence on the Roman Catholic Theologian
    ORTHODOX INFLUENCE ON THE ROMAN CATHOLIC THEOLOGIAN YVES CONGAR, O.P.: A SKETCH1 Joseph Famerée Fr Yves Congar, a French Dominican (1904-1995), has made a great contribution to the renewal of Roman Catholic ecclesiology during the XXth century.2 With others, through his theology he anticipated and opened the way to the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965). His ecclesiological thought is characterized, first, by a “return to the sources of the faith” – the Bible, the Western and Eastern Fathers, the living Tradition of the Church – and second, by its ecumenical openness. Fr Congar turned particularly to Protestants, but also to other Christians. The Orthodox especially had a strong influence on him, much more perhaps than he has indicated in his writings. In this short contribution, I would like to sketch this Eastern influence and Fr Congar's main contacts with the OrthodoX before the Second Vatican Council. At the beginning of this century, the theological Faculty of the Dominicans of Paris (Le Saulchoir) had resettled in Belgium, close to Tournai, because of the anti- clerical laws of the French at that time. Later, “Saint Basil's Russian Seminary” was established by Frs H. J. Omez and Chr. Dumont, O.P., in Lille (France), just across the border from Tournai. It was a center of clerical formation, committed by Pope Pius XI to the French Dominicans, to provide for the further development of Russian “Uniatism” and a better knowledge of Russian Christian culture. By 1927, that “unionist” institution enjoyed a great prestige at Le Saulchoir, where Fr Congar was studying.

Blanchard, B.A., MSt. A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin May 2018 ABSTRACT EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY FORERUNNERS OF VATICAN II: EARLY MODERN CATHOLIC REFORM AND THE SYNOD OF PISTOIA Shaun L. Blanchard Marquette University, 2018 This dissertation 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 Vatican II. 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 increasingly ultramontane nineteenth-century Catholic Church. Nevertheless, many of the reforms implicit or explicit in 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 – were officially promulgated at Vatican II.

Considering the significant liturgical-cultural shifts that occurred at the Second Vatican Council and the propositions of Pope John Paul II in Ecclesia in Africa this research analyses both the theology and rituals around the communio sanctorum and the veneration of ancestors and demonstrates that ancestral veneration is not bound up with superstition and error but is replete with parallels to the doctrine of the communion of saints. It articulates their differences and similarities and argues for the liturgical inculturation of ancestral veneration in the domains of the litany of the saints, the Eucharistic liturgy and the use of ancestors’ names at baptism.
