Romano Amerio Lugano, June 22, 1905 Lugano, October 4, 1997 was a Roman Catholic theologian and a late critic of post Conciliar evolutions in liturgy and ecclesiology . His Masterpiece magnum opus is Iota Unum , a work dedicated to the study of philosophical relationships between Truth and Life. Italian by nationality, he taught philosophy and greco roman classics at the academy of Lugano in Switzerland . He served as a peritus at Vatican Council II and was an adviser to the Conservative cardinal Giuseppe Siri . He was an insider at the Council and grew more and more critical of the aggiornamento as the events unfolded. He had studied in detail the philosophy of 17th century Italian poet Tommaso Campanella , of whose work he later became a professional scholar. In his writings, Amerio identifies three syllabus es which he says were implicitly and intellectually negated during the conciliar period the encyclical Quanta Cura , condemning liberalism and masonic ideology, the decree Lamentabili Sane Exitu concerning radical biblical criticism, and the encyclical Humani Generis of 1950, which reproves of new ecclesial anthropologies and ecclesiologies. Amerio was also opposed to liturgical creativity , and his thought on this issue was essentially in line with the encyclical Mediator Dei of Pius XII, which precisely held that liturgy was a cultus , and not so much a self celebration. Amerio also examined institutional changes in the Holy Office and felt that the formal abandonment of the term heresy in official enquiries and procedures had dramatic consequences on Church life, studies and Christian academics. Amerio was a promoter of apologetics and was dismayed by the abandonment of notions of religious conversion conversion and disputation in favour of a purely dialectic approach between Church and World. He held to traditional Thomism and Augustinianism and deeply disliked the common embrace of Kantism , Hegelianism and Spinozism among many Christian intellectuals. Am ... more details

Historical Christian theology Radical Orthodoxy is a Christian theological and philosophical school of thought which makes use of postmodern philosophy to reject the paradigm of modernity . The movement was founded by John Milbank and others and takes its name from the title of a collection of essays published by Routledge in 1999 Radical Orthodoxy, A New Theology , edited by John Milbank, Catherine Pickstock and Graham Ward theologian Graham Ward . Although the principal founders of the movement are Anglicans, Radical Orthodoxy includes theologians from a number of church traditions. Beginnings Radical Orthodoxy s beginnings are found in a series of books edited by John Milbank, Catherine Pickstock and Graham Ward. Milbank s Theology and Social Theory 1990 , while not part of this series, is considered the first significant text of the movement. The name Radical Orthodoxy was chosen initially since it was a more snappy title for the book series initially Milbank considered the movement to be postmodern critical Augustinianism , emphasising the use of a reading of St Augustine influenced by the insights of postmodernism in the work of the group. The name was also chosen in opposition to certain strands of so called radical theology, for example those of Bishop John Shelby Spong . Such forms of radical theology asserted a highly liberal version of Christian faith where certain doctrines, for example the Trinity and the incarnation of God in Christ, were denied in an attempt to respond to modernity. In contrast to this, Radical Orthodoxy attempted to show how the orthodox interpretation of Christian faith as given primarily in the ecumenical creeds was in fact the more radical response to contemporary issues and more rigorous and intellectually sustainable. Main ideas Radical Orthodoxy is a critique of modern secularism and Kantian accounts of metaphysics . The name Radical Orthodoxy emphasises the movement s attempt to return to or revive traditional doctrine wiktion ... more details
