Theological Seminary "Immaculate Mediatrix," Franciscans of the Immaculate Conception, will hold a conference of studies on the Second Vatican Council in the days 16-17-18 December 2010, at the Istituto Maria SS. Bambina, via Paolo VI, 21 - 00193 Roma
Mossi from the discourse of S. Father to the Roman Curia (22 December 2005) , in which the Pope noted that in the post-conciliar hermeneutics two had clashed with each other: the real one of the "continuity in the reform" and that it has sown confusion because privileging the spirit, the factor "event" at the expense of lettera, quella cioè della «rottura», ci si prefigge di esaminare il Vaticano II e di mettere in luce la sua natura e il suo fine peculiari, entrambi di carattere pastorale. Certo, non per fare del Vaticano II un concilio “di serie B”, ma al fine di mettere meglio in luce quest’unicum che caratterizza per la prima volta un Concilio Ecumenico: non voler dichiarare nuovi dogmi o insegnare in modo definitivo ed infallibile, ma prefiggersi di dire la dottrina di sempre al mondo di oggi; con accenti nuovi, espressioni nuove, ma la fede di sempre.
Così si espresse Giovanni XXIII nel Discorso di apertura del Concilio (11 ottobre 1962):
« What is most interesting of all the Council is that the sacred deposit of Christian doctrine be guarded and taught more effectively .
The Vatican, undoubtedly, as befits a council, has led to considerable progress in the dogmatic: in its place, especially with the ecclesiological impression given to him by Pope Paul VI, the magisterial statements formulated "new" in the continuity of the one Tradition. Suffice it to recall the concept of collegiality in the context of Church communion, a further study of elementa Ecclesiae, for which other Christian denominations are ranked one Church of Christ, the Catholic Church, etc..
Often, however, perhaps taken by the fervor of the new, or even blindness from a historicist, we forget to consider that the Vatican does not identify with the tradition of the Church, not its end: this is more great, while the Council is an expressive and solemn moment, then you forget the ordinary magisterial character, although expressed in a solemn dall'Assise reconcile, and the lack of pronouncements definitivae tenenda ; you forget, then, that the documents Vatican II - a difference of Trent and Vatican I, for example - are distinguished in the Constitutions, Declarations and decrees, and therefore not all have the same doctrinal value, it remains clear and source of the general attitude of the Council, to teach in an authentic way ordinary.
Paul VI, in fact, the General Audience of January 12, 1966 , recalled that " must be careful: the teachings of the council do not constitute a comprehensive and full of Catholic doctrine, this is much wider, as everyone knows, and is not questioned by the Council or substantially changed; whereas in fact the council confirmation, explains, defends and develops ... . Referring then to the Notification of the Secretary-General del Concilio, del 16 novembre 1964, aggiungeva: « …dato il carattere pastorale del Concilio, esso ha evitato di pronunciare in modo straordinario dogmi dotati della nota di infallibilità; ma esso ha tuttavia munito i suoi insegnamenti dell’autorità del supremo magistero ordinario il quale magistero ordinario e così palesemente autentico deve essere accolto docilmente e sinceramente da tutti i fedeli, secondo la mente del Concilio circa la natura e gli scopi dei singoli documenti ».
Dove si annida, però, quella volontà di far risultare il Vaticano II come «un nuovo inizio a partire dal nulla», sì da diventare un «superdogma» , While it is indeed "contrived to remain at a low level, as a simple pastoral council" (Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, Address to the Bishops of Chile, July 13, 1988)?
In our view, and as you try to emerge from the work of the conference, one of the causes is the same motto "pastoral," which in the post-Vatican II has undergone significant changes: a rich depth next But with a deliberate ambiguity. There has been reversed: the pastoral care has become the true dogmatic, while the dogmatic has passed in the name of the ministry. We're not sure with Otto Hermann Pesch talking about a "revolutionary significance" of Vatican II, we with the Church and the Church: She is only the bearer of Tradition. But you try to understand why, in fact, it seems that there has been a revolution.
