My Response to Fr. Cavalcoli, O.P. Published in The Remnant

I would like to thank Mr. Michael Matt of The Remnant for publishing my essay, Why Not the Univocal? A Response to Fr. Cavalcoli in the Ongoing Debate Regarding Vatican II and the Traditionalist Critique. Please click on the link and give it a read through, and maybe consider buying a subscription to The Remnant Newspaper.


The Council of Trent, a more than univocal Ecumenical Council
(by Pasquale Cati da Iesi, 1588)

If you aren't familiar with this spontaneous internet debate, here are the relevant links:

Francesco Arzillo's criticism of the traditionalist critique (as presented by Roberto de Mattei and Brunero Gherardini) that appeared on Sandro Magister's blog: On Continuity.

My essay in response to Arzillo's essay that appeared in The Remnant: Traditionalist Attacked... Again: A Response to Francesco Arzillo's Essay on Continuity.

Fr. Giovanni Cavalcoli's Response to the traditionalists of "The Remnant," in defense of Francesco Arzillo, which appeared, again, on Sandro Magister's blog.

  2. "However, we are here at the level of inquiry, and the Church’s Magisterium, while certainly utilizing both philosophical and theological inquiry, does not endeavor primarily in either one. The Church’s Magisterium teaches, it elucidates, it makes clear; in short, its business is the making of univocal statements." Excellent and excellently placed point, David. Looking forward to what comes of this exchange!
