Doctrine & Life
May-June 2023
In February and March, the Loyola Institute at Trinity College Dublin marked the present stage of the synodal journey of the Catholic Church with three lectures engaging with Yves Congar’s seminal work True and False Reform in the Church (1950, revised edition 1958; English translation 2011). The first three articles in this issue carry the texts of those reflections.

The first three articles in this issue carry the texts of those reflections.
What Is Reform?
Cornelius Casey gives the provenance of Vrai et fausse réforme dans l’eglise, before analysing the two skills needed to negotiate towards reform in this present era – to grasp theologically the reality of the Church and its history; and to interpret the relationship between the Church and the world.
Is Reform Possible?
Fáinche Ryan demonstrates that prophecy and patience are the two conditions necessary for authentic reform. She sees, further, the depth of Congar’s teaching on how change can come about via facti – what might once be seen as a novelty becoming a settled custom and then law.
Hope for True Reform Today
Gemma Simmonds shows how Congar’s analysis raises the need to question what is meant by tradition and by what is normal. She finds in the voices of Religious worldwide, consulted as part of the synodal pathway, a longing for a deep listening which will help the Church move beyond problem-solving mode towards a broader and more genuine understanding of what lies within the Church’s teaching.
Polluted Roots
Michael Downey, who knew Jean Vanier, comments, theologically, on recent revelations about spiritual perversions Vanier learned from French Dominican Thomas Philippe, and practised; and about the ambiguous circumstances surrounding the foundation of L’Arche.
Banks, Inflation, Interest Rates and Social Justice
David Begg continues his ‘Justice Questions’ series by reflecting on the fact that policy-makers seem to be struggling with the interplay of inflation, interest rates and banks, and how to broaden policy formulation for the sake of the common good.
Martin Luther as a Biblical Interpreter
Jonathan Burroughs demonstrates Luther’s approach to biblical interpretation by setting out Luther’s reading of Genesis 1:3 as an example of his teaching that Scripture is its own interpreter.
The Word according to Flannery O’Connor
Eamon Maher shows how ‘biblical references proliferate in Wise Blood, probably the best-known of O’Connor’s works, and two short stories [and how] … in a literary universe that seems diabolical and gruesome, the action of grace can nevertheless be glimpsed’.
