The fiftieth anniversary of the Second Vatican Council (1962-65) has seen renewed scholarly interest in this epochal encounter between the Roman Catholic Church and the challenges of modernity
De Lubac is known as the pioneer of ressourcement or “return to the sources,” the impulse that provided the theological orientation for Vatican II
Oesterreicher, who recounts at least three other missives coming from within the Catholic Church, concludes: “That Jules Isaac’s visit had a lasting effect on John XXII cannot in my opinion, be doubted. It is questionable whether his was the decisive influence in moving the Pope to act, as has sometimes been asserted. What he did was to cause the Pope’s sentiments, until not fully expressed, to come to the fore.” 63 according to Connelly, in the case of at least one of these Catholic initiatives, the memorandum of the Apeldoorn Working Group, which came from a 28-31 August 1960 meeting in the Netherlands, “the drafters of these theses were relying upon Jules Isaac.”[64]. So the momentous statement known as Nostra Aetate was made possible in part by Isaac’s painstaking historical deconstruction of the theological genealogy of antisemitism and his tireless mission to the gentiles
Summary
The fiftieth anniversary of the Second Vatican Council (1962-65) has seen renewed scholarly interest in this epochal encounter between the Roman Catholic Church and the challenges of modernity.
