SMC103Y1 Lecture Notes - Leonard Feeney, Lumen Gentium, Second Vatican Council
Document Summary
Vatican 2 marked a fundamental transition: marked a time where it did something that was only done once. Two documents that are often cited that are supporting to karl rooners theory: two readings from last week. 2 formuli: both are premised that the catholic church is the one true church/one true religion , they were both teachings that were typical during the teachings of the time. No salvation outside of the church associated with cyprian of carthage; he was talking to systematic traditions. This was reconsidered in 1492 because it was thought that most people didn"t know about the gospels and jesus as the saviour. Becuz of this transformation in 1950 a jesuit called leonard feeney was excommunicated for claiming that their is no salvation outside the church and that those who aren"t catholic=unsaved. Nostra atata: everyone is united somehow, urges all christians to pursue christian faith, gives special attn to attitude towards jews and muslims, condemns religious discriminations.
