Evaluation explores ecclesiology of the post-Vatican II Church, revealing implications for mission effectiveness.
Aaron Pidel, SJ, evaluates the "analogical balance" of the post-Vatican II Church using Erich Przywara’s analogia entis. Applying Przywara’s metaphysical "cross-structure" to ecclesiology, Pidel explores the tension between "Old" and "New" Catholicism. He argues that while the Council maintained essential doctrines, its rhetorical shift toward an "Easter Christianity" of dialogue and security—rather than militancy and obligation—may have negatively impacted mission effectiveness in secularized cultures.
