When the average Catholic thinks of theological
\ndisputation they quickly surmise that they can be tedious, if not irrelevant.
\nConnections are not made for the average Catholic between relevance of a theological truth or an idea to the spiritual life and the teaching of Truth and one’s salvation. Believe it or not, theology means something. Admittedly, I don’t blame people’s reluctance to enter into the fray of the
\nissues because they are complicated, convoluted and cause considerable
\nconsternation between the interlocutors. But what else would you expect from
\nintelligent people? Theological matters are incredibly important for the life
\nof the Church particularly in the realm of protecting the deposit of faith from
\ncharlatans. I, for one, love the controversy that’s stirred up because it gets
\npeople talking and thinking about the issues posited by Catholic theologians.<\/span><\/div>\n

Capuchin Father Thomas G. Weinandy (Dir. of Doctrine
\nCommittee, USCCB) thinks Dr. Terrence W. Tilley (Fordham Univ. theologian &
\nchair of the Dept of Theology) is on the outer limits of what theological
\nreflection and research legitimately allows for. Tilley believes he and others
\nare recovering an older theological approach (method).<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
I for one think Weinandy
\nhas the stronger argument.<\/span><\/p>\n
