But this is based on a number of misconceptions:<br \/>\nabout the nature of the <em>nouvelle th<\/em><em>\u00e9ologie<\/em><br \/>\nitself, and about the views held by some of these theologians.<\/p>\n<p><em>Nouvelle th<\/em><em>\u00e9ologie<\/em> is not a unified movement<br \/>\nin which everyone held the same views. Some of the \u201cnew<br \/>\ntheologians\u201d were radicals and modernists who wanted the Church to<br \/>\nbow to the modern world. Some were orthodox men who wanted to<br \/>\nrevitalize theology by a return to the sources: the Fathers,<br \/>\nScripture, and St. Thomas (in his own words, not as filtered<br \/>\nthrough the commentators). Others were harder to pin down.<\/p>\n<p>A broad-brush approach to the <em>nouvelle<br \/>\nth<\/em><em>\u00e9ologie<\/em> has resulted in injustices, perhaps as much<br \/>\nto theology itself as to some good Churchmen whose reputations have<br \/>\nbeen tarnished. Even Ratzinger has been dubbed a modernist by a<br \/>\ncertain trigger-happy trad celebrity. It\u2019s time for an<br \/>\nintervention, and theologian Richard DeClue is here to bring some<br \/>\nsobriety.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Links<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>DeClue\u2019s Views <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCq3P-y0YV1V6owHdCRw4I3A\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCq3P-y0YV1V6owHdCRw4I3A<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Richard DeClue\u2019s blog, <em>Sapientia Nulliformis<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/declubac.wixsite.com\/sapientianulliformis?fbclid=IwAR1Yai3ASu4jEpRxFykawAPk_9JczfXCdUgocQQONTKBT_srV36-W5bYFhQ\"><br \/>\nhttps:\/\/declubac.wixsite.com\/sapientianulliformis<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Episode 38: The Sacred Monster, on Garrigou-Lagrange <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catholicculture.org\/commentary\/episode-38-sacred-monster-matthew-k-minerd\/\"><br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.catholicculture.org\/commentary\/episode-38-sacred-monster-matthew-k-minerd\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This podcast is a production of CatholicCulture.org.
