Proposals for a Correct Reading of the Second Vatican Council

    Bishop Athanasius Schneider gave an address late last year on the above theme. The bishop makes the point that since Vatican III won't be for another 500 years, it would be as well to have a teaching document from the Church's Supreme Magisterium on this important issue.

    From Fr. Z:
    His Excellency Most Rev. Athanasius Schneider, auxiliary bishop in Karaganda, Kazakhstan, has made quite a splash over the last few years.

    He first caught people’s eyes at the Synod on the Eucharist in 2005 in Rome where he gave an intervention, as a priest, while secretary of the liturgy committee of the bishops’ conference in Kazakhstan. He suggested to the Fathers of the Synod, if you can believe this, that faith in and devotion to the Eucharist wasn’t all that it should be in some places. He suggested that to foster faith and devotion we should perhaps kneel and receive Communion – I am not making this up – on the tongue rather than in the hand.

    His ideas found favor in some high quarter, for soon thereafter he was consecrated bishop. A book with his radical views was published by the Vatican’s own publishing house with a preface by the then-secretary for the Congregation for Divine Worship, Malcolm, now Cardinal, Ranjith. His book Dominus Est is in now in English.

    On 17 December 2010, again in Rome, Bp. Schneider gave an address at a conference which attracted more attention.

    In the face of chaos which has been caused by a misinterpretation of the Second Vatican Council, by liberals who want to use the Council as a tool to force the Church into conformity with the world, or traditionalists who desire to reject the Council, Bp. Schneider proposed that there should be a document with magisterial effect which corrects false interpretations and offers positive guidelines. This would be a sort of “Syllabus”, both of errors and proper principles.

    Fr. Z has a post and a podcast about this important talk. He also recommends the little book by the bishop - Dominus Est! which I have read and plan to give to my local priests when the time is right.

    There is a link to the full text of the talk and the podcast itself here.

    If you can't be bothered reading the full talk or listening to the podcast, there is a good summary here.

    I'm calling Vatican III the moment I'm made Pope. ;)

    All joking aside, I don't think we shall see such a syllabus for a while, but it could appear within the next 5-10 years. It would be a major project. Benedict XVI doesn't have the years to do it. I could be wrong.
