Various theologians worked together prior to the Council, some more than others and not without disagreements even then. Communio and Concilum are two camps which officially formed during/after the Second Vatican Council.

Rahner, Congar, Schillebeeckx, and others were the first organized group of thinkers out of gate after the Council. Their journal was formed in 1965 and ran nearly ten years before there was another major intellectually organized response in 1974. De Lubac, Baltahsar, Ratzinger, Woytla, and others formed Communio as a response to Concilum.

There was then and is now a major ongoing debate about the teachings of the Second Vatican Council and the direction that the Church should take as a result. I for one stand firmly in the Communio camp, but am open to many things discussed in the Concilum camp. One should not discount or ignore the teachings of Rahner or others. I will explore this topic in future posts.

If you have something specific in mind that Novak wrote, send it to me. I shall consider it.
