| Description: |
This second Volume of De Lubac's Notebooks, from 27 October, 1963 to 8 December, 1965, traces the two years of preparation, the four conciliar sessions, and the three periods between sessions. De Lubac guides the reader, introducing us to the theological ferment of the Council and helping us to grasp what was at stake in the often animated debates.
De Lubac does not hesitate to express clearly what he thinks of the theologians around him, of the new concepts appearing because of the Council, or of the problems he judges to be most serious for the Christian faith. The Notebooks invite us to a greater historical and theological understanding of the Council.
Besides information about the numerous aspects of the conciliar assembly, what makes the testimony of these notebooks so captivating is the strongly rendered presence of men and their psychology. De Lubac excels in sketching the portrait of the participants with only a few words. Among the many interesting encounters, he tells of deepening his acquaintance with Josef Ratzinger, whom he describes as a "theologian as peaceable and kindly as he is competent." In the same way, during the long discussion over the drafting of the constitution Gaudium et Spes, he observed the assertiveness of Karol Wojtya a, whose interventions struck him because of the seriousness, the rigor, and the solidity of his faith, which created in him a lively sense of spiritual friendship, which was reciprocated. |
