It has grow to be trendy in traditionalist circles accountable all
issues in trendy theology on the so-called nouvelle
théologie, together with a spread of thinkers akin to
Henri de Lubac, Karl Rahner, Hans Urs von Balthasar, Hans Küng and
Josef Ratzinger. However that is primarily based on plenty of misconceptions:
concerning the nature of the nouvelle théologie
itself, and concerning the views held by a few of these theologians.
Nouvelle théologie isn’t a unified motion
wherein everybody held the identical views. A number of the “new
theologians” have been radicals and modernists who wished the Church to
bow to the trendy world. Some have been orthodox males who wished to
revitalize theology by a return to the sources: the Fathers,
Scripture, and St. Thomas (in his personal phrases, not as filtered
by way of the commentators). Others have been tougher to pin down.
A broad-brush strategy to the nouvelle
théologie has resulted in injustices, maybe as a lot
to theology itself as to some good Churchmen whose reputations have
been tarnished. Even Ratzinger has been dubbed a modernist by a
sure trigger-happy trad movie star. It’s time for an
intervention, and theologian Richard DeClue is right here to deliver some
sobriety.
