PapalInfallibilityDoesNotMakeCouncils

Superfluous

wEturnnowtothequestionaskedin thebeginning.TheVaticandefinition hasmadenochangeintheimportance ofGeneralCouncils.ThePopeshavealways givendoctrinaldecisionsontheirauthorityas supremeteachers.Further,Councilsinthe earlyageoftheChurch,astholeofEphesus andChalcedon,clearlystatedthattheirintentionwastogiveeffecttoapreviouspapal decisionondoctrine.

ItfollowsthatCouncils arenotabsolutelynecessary,andthattheChurch, asinthefirstcenturies, canexistwithoutthem. Theycannotbeshownto benecessaryeitherfrom ScriptureorfromTradition.Anditisamatterof historythat,asarule,it wastheEasternRoman emperor,ratherthanthe Pope,orbishops,who initiatedthefirstCouncils.

Thisdoesnotalterthe factthatCouncilsareextremelyusefulandoften almostmorallynecessary. Noothermeanswasso adaptedforendingtheGreat SchismasaGeneralCouncil.Thewaytocarryouta reformofthewholeChurch intheSixteenthCentury, andtodecidethequestions raisedbytheReformation, wastoCatholicsand,in principle,tomostProtestantsthecallingofaGeneral Council;andthegigantic taskwas,infact,performed bytheCouncilofTrent.

INFALLIBILITY

*

TOAPPRECIATE

fulllytheimportance ofanEcumenicalCouncil, wemustbearinmindthe realnatureoftheinfallibilityofthePopeandofthe episcopateunitedwithhim. Infallibilitydoesnotinvolve anynewrevelation,andinfallibleteachingisnot necessarilyinspired.Itis ratheramatterofsimple assistance,bywhichGod preservesHisChurchand herheadfromerrorinformaldecisionsinfaithand morals.Normally,these decisionspresupposehuman endeavour,reflection,study ofsourcesandtheological reasoning.IfthePopetakes itonhimselftodecide mattersoffaithortopropoundreforms,doubtlesshe willbekeptfromerrorin teachingbydivineassistance.

Butthisdoesnotmean thathenecessarilychooses thebestwayofexpressing thesedoctrinescrthereformsbestsuitedtothe givencircumstances.The collaborationofthebishops inaCouncilbringsout manyaspectsthePopemight haveoverlooked.TheCouncilofChalcedonprovides uswithagoodexample.

PopeLeohad,inhisletter toFlavian,expoundedthe mysteryoftheIncarnation inoppositiontotheMonophysitesandNestorians,and theFathersofChalcedon solemnlydeclaredtheiracceptance.ButsomeEastern bishopsthoughtthatacme oftheexpressionsinthe lettertookinsufficientaccountofthedifferentterminologyoftheEastern Church.Theyworkedouta newformulationofthe dogma,which,incontrast tothefloridityofthepapal letter,wasterseandprecise intermsunfamiliartoRome andtheWest,andremoved anypossibilityofmisinterpretation.Thereresulteda masterpieceofclearnessand accuracywhicheffectively preventedtheMonophysites accusingtheCouncilof Nestorianism.

Furtherexamplesarethe enormousworkdonebythe bishopsandtheologiansat TrentandtheVatican.This workofreasonenlightened byfaith,togetherwillshard andfruitfulstudyand evaluationofsources,alone madepossiblethefinalform oftheConciliardecrees.

THEECUMENICALCOUNCILAS

REPRESENTATIVE

OFTHEENTIRECHURCH

PRESSarticlesontheCouncilshowthedifferent meaningsgiventotheword-ecumenical,"accordingtoasitisusedbyProtestants,Orthodox,or Catholicwriters,andthattheyareboundupwithvery differentconceptionsinthefieldoftheologyandcanon law.IwillspeakhereonlyofthefundamentalCatholic ideaofaCouncil,withoutdiscussingthevarioustypes ofcouncilfoundinhistorynoranyparticulardetails ofChurchhistory.

AnEcumenicalCouncilis asolemnassemblyofall bishopsthroughoutthe worldtodiscuss,inunion withtheBIshapofRome, questionswhichconcernthe wholeofChristendom.To betrulyecumenical,certain conditionsmustbefulfilled asregardsitssummonint, executionandauthority.

THESUMMONING:

Howdothebishops, unitedwiththePope, representthewhole Church?

ACouncilisecumenical initssummoning,ifallthe bishopsoftheCatholic worldhavebeenofficially invited.Thereasonisthat thebishops,assuccessorsof theApostles,form,withthe Pope,theteachingbodyof theChurch,whichrepresentsthehighestecclesiasticalauthority.BythecustomarylawoftheChurchnow inforce,theclassofthose tobeinvitedhasbeen widened,toincludeholders ofecclesiasticalofficesbearingquasi-episcopaljurisdiction.Inaddition,alltitular bishopswereinvitedtothe (First)VaticanCouncil, sincethesepossess,bytheir consecration,allthatbefits themtoreceivejurisdlction.

Thequestionmaybe asked:Howarethelaity representedataCouncil?

PopeJohnXXIII,inanaddressreferringtotheRoman diocesansynod,expressly statedthat"thelaityarenot directlysummonedtotake partinthesynod."They arerepresentedthrough theirbishops.Theteaching bodyoftheChurchisin intimateunionwiththe wholebodyofthefaithful. Togetherwiththemthe bishopsformanorganic bodythatpreservesand givesexpressiontoChristian truth;thisbodyisthe Church.

ThosewhoteachtheFaith

arethemselvesbelieversand confessorsofthatFaith;and toitallbelieverstestifyby theirprofessionandtheir lives.TheHolySpirit,Who animatesandguidesthe teachingbody,alsoanimates andguidesallbelievers directlyandinwardlyin virtueofthegraceofBaptism,andimpowersthemto witnessactivelytoChristian truth.Itisnotwitnessedto exclusivelybytheofficial, authenticandauthoritative teachingofthebishops,but alsobytheuniversaland continuousconfessingofthe faithful.

Thewholebodyofthe faithfulhasanimportant functioninpreservingand

developingtheFaith.In BaptismandConfirmation theyhavereceivedtheHoly Spirit,Whoworksinthem actively.TheSpiritoperates thoughHisgiftsinevery baptisedpersoninthestate ofgrace.Thegiftsofwisdom,understandingand knowledgeproduceaninsightintothetruthsoffaith, adiscernmentthatoften reachesaclarityandprecisionastonishinginlaypeoplestrangerstotheology.

PiusXII,inhisencyclical MunificentissimusDeus (MostBountifulGod),emphasisedthetheologicalimportanceofthepeople'switnessandinsightintothe Faithand,atthesametime, stressedthedirectingand controllingfunclionetthe teachingChurch. Thissensewhichthe peoplehavefortheFaith mustnotbeemanicipated fromtheteachingfunction oftheChurch.Thelatter takesintoaccountthesense ofthefaithfulandtheirwitnessasadatumofTradition, whichhastobeassessedby theteachingauthorityalone.

Thusthebishopsarethe primaryandofficialguardiansoftheChristianrevelation,_andthatiswhy theearlyCouncils,intheir doctrinaldecisions,appealed toScriptureand10the:traditionofDoctorsofthe ChurchandtheFatherswho werebishops.Butgreatimportanceattachesalsotcthe witnessofthefaithfulin general.Itconstitutessecondaryevidenceforthe

Church'stradition;andsc, inlatertimes,doctrinaldecisionshaveoftentakeninto accountthewitnessofthe faithfulandregardeditas asignofgenuinetradition.

InaCouncil,thebishops testifytothebeliefofthe Churchwithoutinanyway lesseningtheindependence andauthorityoftheteachingbody.Theydonotrepresenttheirpeopleintheway aparliamentrepresentsa country.Itistheirepiscopal office,notapointmentbythe faithful,thatmakesthemat theCouncil"testesfidei"witnessestothefaithofthe Church.

Bishopsalonearethe authentic"doctores teachersoftheFaith.When assembledinCouncil,they represent,intheirunion withthePope,thewhole Churchinthemostsolemn form.Butthefunctionof theirswhichismainly stressedbyaCouncilisthat of"judicesfidei-judgesin mattersoffaith;itisthey whodecidequestionsofdoctrine,ofChristianlifeand morals,andtheirdecisions areuniversallybinding. Thatisthereasonwhy,even intheearlyChurch,itwas insisted:"Conciliaesseepiscoporum"-Councilsarethe concernofthebishops.

R.:Nottomyknowledge,althoughthetitle"Our LadyofFatima"isofficiallyapprovedinhonourof OurLady'sappearancestothethreechildren,Lucy dosSantos.FranciscoandJacintaMarto,atFatima, Portugal,onMay13,1917,andonfivesubsequent occasions.PopePiusXIIwasundoubtedlyinfluencedbythemessagesgiventothechildrenby OurLadywhen,in1942,heinstitutedtheFeastof theImmaculateHeartofMary,tobeobservedon August22,sincethemessagesurgedpropagation ofthatdevotion.

Q.:IsthewholestoryofFatimaafable?

Certainlynotthewholestory.althoughnot allthestoriesonehearsaboutFatimaarenecessarilyreliable.

Itwouldbetoomuchtoexpectthat,onsuch,a subject,emotionalenthusiasmandimagination wouldnotgiverisetohighlycolouredandexaggeratedaccountsoftheeventsatFatima.Butthe basicfactsareascertainastheexistenceofFatima itself.OnlyaftereightyearsofthoroughinvestigationbyanofficialcommissiondidtheBishop ofLeiriadeclaretheclaimtosupernaturalmanifestationsatFatimaworthyofacceptanceand recognitionbytheChurch.

R.:Conflictingaccountsofthefindingofthe wateratFatimahavebeengiven.Somewriters givetheaccountyouhavementioned,butwith variations,threespringsgushingforthclearfresh watersometimesbeingsubstitutedforyoursluggishbrackishwater.Dr.JohnDeMarchi,inhis book,"Fatima-TheFacts"(1950),saysthatitwas onOctober12,1926,thattheBishopofLeiriafirst orderedawelltobedug.Hesaystheworkerssoon cametosolidrock,dynamitedit,andthatatonce anabundantflowofwatergushedforth.Itwas popularlybelievedthatthewaterappearedmiraculously,althoughthereisnosoundreasonfor holdingthatithadanyotherthanapurelynatural origin.TheBishop'sintentionwasmerelytoprovideasupplyofdrinkingwaterforthecrowdsof peoplevisitingtheplace.However,somany wonderfulcuresofvariousdiseaseswerereported bypeoplewhoeitherwashedtheirwoundswith thewater,ordrankit,thatthewaterwassoon reputedtobe"miraculous"initseffects,ifnotin itsorigin.
