Resumen

Betz argues that a “new ressourcement must reach beyond historical retrieval to the primordial divine tradition: the Father’s eternal self-gift to the Son. Only by grounding secondary traditions in this primary source can the Church avoid sterile traditionalism and manifest living, transformative continuity. Such a ressourcement is radically forward-moving, capable of renewing the Church and the world by allowing the original divine life to flow anew, generating authentic development and spiritual vitality.
