As so much of my thinking began with Vatican II...... (Main Forum)

by desi @, Australia, Sunday, May 09, 2010, 18:46 (1110 days ago) @ Enda

I have just discovered that I saved this site/link some years ago and on reading it again I think that it gives some great reflections/writings on Vatican II, especially in relation to the Church.


Bishop Butler worked to spread Council teaching. But even after “this miraculous Council”, as he called it, he remained concerned that if the Church failed to adapt, it would risk irrelevance like the coelacanth, that living fossil, thought to be extinct until a live specimen was found in 1938. Immediately after the Council Butler wrote:
Catholics believe that the Church cannot perish….in virtue of the guaranteed assistance of God… [but] the question could have been asked, in the years before Vatican II, whether the fate of the coelacanth was not likely to be the fate of the Catholic Church. (Theology of Vatican II, Rev. Ed. 1981, DLT, p8f)
