4) Contemporary problems
A) on the level of non‑technical communication:
- the enlargement of the field of ||immediate communication —radio, television—; |mediated communication —universal education; books (19,000 England; 12,000 USA)
- the relative shrinking of impact of tradional channels
- must one speak & write as though readers could, should learn what is not learned properly by most priests in 6 years?
- Is there to be a Verkündigungstheologie [preaching theology] e.g. Scripture & Phenomenology. H. Müllen, Der heilige Geist als Person, Münster, Aschendorf, 196_
- Is there to be a Verkündigunsphilosophie Teilhard de Chardin
B) {227} on the level of the relations between Dogma, Scholasticism, Church Teaching –Encyclicals
-Dogma: omnibus credendum proponitur tanquam divinitus revelatum; idem verum, eodem sensu 1792, 1800, 2314
-Scholasticism: a scientific or rhetorical integration of dogma w[ith] the total field of human thought
- Magisterium: studies of the decisions of the Magisterium. What is it? ||juridical, |empirical
C) {226} The fate of scholasticism
1) the ambiguities: science, decadence, old rhetoric, new rhetoric
2) the opinions
a) scholasticism is antiquated: only Verkündigungstheologie
b) scholasticism is to frozen, congealed, at what I learned when I was a seminarian. ((Historical‑critical studies eliminate what people think)). 1) Spanish school, XVI, XVII 2) mediaeval: Aquinas
c) scholasticism is to be developed
{228} In Animali Rationali
Mediatio ||sui ipsius |sui mundi |suarum operationum} per cognitionem et voluntatem
Ecclesia: ipsa suam vitam mediat per theologiam
Initiale: Judaei & Graeci, sed transformati. Qua transformandi: Iudaei & Graeci; qua transformati: catholici
Quo in stadio: unus homo concretus vivit intelligit iudicat eligit qua ||Iudaeus |Graecus conversus; minime confunduntur ||judaicum |graecum et catholicum; neque tamen explicite signate technice distingunt[ur] {229}
Stadia subsequentia:
[In stadio] Patrist[ico]: Motus dogmaticus:
Ecclesia sese mediat. Technice, explicite, signate determin[at] quid sit esse catholicum, quid sit illud quod est conversivum, transformativum. Particularitates: rationalis, psychologicae, socialis, culturalis evolutionis.
[In stadio] Schol[astico]: Motus systematicus:

omissa parte dogmatica, non mysteria intelliguntur [pseudo‑problemata, pseudo‑systemata]
{230} Gravissimum problema theologiae hodiernae: Utrum haec omnia sint superata?
Theologia: in qualis livello: a) ||experience |understanding; b) ||non‑technical [exceptis phenomenologicis], |literary, |judgment implicit, |communicable;
ex utroque testamento directe ad hominem XX saec[uli];
educatio, apostolatus: influxus realis ® cultura x[ris]tiana;
massa plus non addiscit; multi sacerdotes plus non addiscunt; necessarium est…,
sed etiam necessarium videtur technica ecclesiae mediatio.
Il[l]a non formant iudicium, quod est maxime fundamentale
{231} Stadium praesens: undiff[erentiatio] ® classical ®historical consciousness
classical: quid sit?
bios theoretikos; intelligentia, scientia, sapientia; amor universi
essentialist, deductivist, rationalist, idealist
per se, universal, abstraction, static
bios praktilos: prudence, iustice, fortitude, temperance,
theoretical ® vulgarisation
practical ® via universal, normative, juridical, legal, ideal
