  • Joseph Cardijn and the Jocist Network at Vatican II by Stefan Robert Gigacz, LL.B., LL.M
    The Leaven in the Council: Joseph Cardijn and the Jocist Network at Vatican II By Stefan Robert Gigacz, LL.B., LL.M. (Legal Theory), DEA Canon Law. A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Divinity 2018 Abstract This thesis investigates the role and impact of Joseph Cardijn, founder of the Jeunesse Ouvrière Chrétienne (Young Christian Workers) movement, and the jocist network of bishops and periti at the Second Vatican Council. It adopts a longue durée approach, locating Cardijn within a tradition of Catholic social thought and action that developed in the wake of Europe’s nineteenth century industrial and democratic revolutions. It highlights the influence of the Lamennais School, and Marc Sangnier’s Sillon movement as sources for his work. Secondly, it traces the influence of Cardijn, his theology and methods over the half century prior to the Council, particularly the well-known see-judge-act method, which formed part of his “Three Truths” Christian dialectic. It also documents the emergence of a global network of JOC and/or Specialised Catholic Action chaplains experienced in these methods, many of whom would become key conciliar actors. Thirdly, it examines the role at Vatican II played by Cardijn, the jocist-formed bishops and periti, as well as several lay leaders from the movement, who became lay auditors. It particularly examines Cardijn’s role in the Preparatory Commission on Lay Apostolate and its successor the conciliar Lay Apostolate Commission in the drafting of the Decree on Lay Apostolate, Apostolicam Actuositatem, and the Doctrinal Constitution Lumen Gentium, as well as the impact of his book, Laïcs en premières lignes, published in English as Laymen into Action.

  • FAITH & Reason
    FAITH & REASON THE JOURNAL of CHRISTENDOM COLLEGE 1987 | Vol. XIII, No. 2 Instaurare Omnia in Christo: A Consideration of the Lay Apostolate Kevin Walsh The Church, ever faithful to the need to read the signs of the times, has placed an ever greater impor- tance upon the role of the laity to bring Christ, who is “the Way, the Truth and the Life,” to this troubled world of ours. In this fine article, Kevin Barry Walsh gives an excellent overview of the role of the Catholic laity in the light of recent Church teaching. “For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.... For the body does not consist of one member but of many.... But as it is, God arranged the organs in the body, each one of them, as he chose.” (I Cor. 12: 12; 14; 18.) HE CHURCH, IN HER LONG HISTORY, HAS PASSED THROUGH MANY CRISES. HER Divine Spouse, Jesus Christ, can, however, bring a much greater good out of these difficulties, for as Lord of History, He steadily brings her to the completion of His plan for her. Looking at the Church through the ages, one can see that as the she went through one doctrinal crisis after another, she was forced to examine specific points of doctrine more closely and reflect on them. This often bore fruit in a clear definition by a council, a Roman pontiff, or even a good theologian. The result is a clearer per- ception of what the Catholic Church believes and is.
