Yves Congar’s writings in the 1950s were censored by the Vatican, but his “exile” ended in 1960 when Pope John XXIII invited him to serve on the theological commission preparing for Vatican II. He was named a cardinal by Pope John Paul II and died in 1995. Marie-Dominique Chenu was a progressive theologian and, like Congar, his writings were banned by the Vatican for a period. He was invited by Pope John to play a major role in drafting the Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World.
Fr. Schepers, a Dominican priest from Kenya, is completing a year of study as a resident scholar at the Lonergan Institute of Boston College.
