{"title":"Original Sin in the Context of Lonergan's Soteriology","authors":"Patrick Riordan, SJ","doi":"10.1111/heyj.14347","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/heyj.14347","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Any survey of diverse methods applied by Catholic theologians teaching and writing in the twentieth century should include the Canadian theologian Bernard Lonergan, SJ. While Lonergan might best be known for his <i>Method in Theology</i>, published originally in English, his work on soteriology was originally in Latin in the context of his teaching Christology, <i>De Verbo Incarnato</i>. Only with the publication of his <i>Collected Works</i> are the relevant Latin texts now widely available, also with English translation.1</p><p>Lonergan's soteriology is well summarised in a lecture title: ‘Healing and Creating in History’.4 ‘History’ identifies the context of ‘the concrete situation of humans’; ‘creating’ locates the dynamic capabilities for generating good; and ‘healing’ refers to the woundedness of humanity, the extent of which is revealed in the complexity of the solution offered. The woundedness in question includes the reality of sin, both actual and original. There is only a brief mention of original sin in this essay.5 What is referred to here is <i>Erbsünde</i> rather than <i>Ursünde</i>, <i>peccatum originale originatum</i> and not <i>peccatum originale originans</i>. The focus is on inherited original sin, <i>Erbsünde</i>.</p><p>As an additional introductory note, I should acknowledge Lonergan's distinction from <i>Method in Theology</i> between ‘Doctrines’ and ‘Systematics’ in the second four of the eight functional specialties.6 Doctrines indicates the task of establishing what the Church teaches on specific matters, while systematics takes on the task of explaining the teaching and integrating it with other elements of the Christian faith. In the texts dealt with in this paper Lonergan is largely engaged in the work of systematisation, taking doctrine taught by the Church as given. The following points are relevant: the role of history in Lonergan's theology; his replacement of metaphysics by cognitional theory and epistemology; his analysis of progress and decline (dialectic); the theme of healing. Finally, I ask why the offered explanation is an account of inherited original sin.</p><p>Frederick Crowe, SJ, a student of Lonergan and one of his more careful defenders, highlights Lonergan's concentration on history, and his concern with Christ's historical causality, his influence on the healing of the world.7 Crowe provides a commentary on a supplement added to Lonergan's <i>De Verbo Incarnato</i>, where he treats soteriology, the redemption.8 <i>De Bono et Malo</i>, ‘Of Good and Evil’, is the title of the first of six chapters in this supplement, in total comprising 45 articles. Lonergan's exploration of good and evil in history, what he terms Progress, Decline, and Healing or Recovery, is the context, I suggest, for grasping what he has to offer about original sin.</p><p>This topic of Christ's role in history is to be read in the context of Lonergan's own development of the notion of historicism or historical consciousness.

It is then argued that the same Wittgensteinian considerations Geach takes to show that there are no interior acts of meaning also show that there are no interior acts of thinking and hence no non-clockable interior acts of thinking. Thus the second premise of Geach's argument also has not been justified.

For help, we engage Simone Weil's theopolitical critique of domination-based political organising, Hannah Arendt's insights into the texture of political space and belonging, and Jodi Dean's concept of a ‘collective desire for collectivity’ to propose a lateral, connective politics of home that secures local communities while also fostering global connection. Our constructive theological proposal is that the power of love for home entails the embrace of neighbour (near and far) that moves beyond the usual options of liberal cosmopolitanism, communitarian localism, and the <i>Realpolitik</i> of geopolitical alliances. By reconsidering and intensifying the Christian concept of neighbour-love and linking it to the common reality of displacement and the common longing for home, we take the first steps towards illuming and unveiling a political theology of home that is neither preferential nor naively inclusive.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":54105,"journal":{"name":"HEYTHROP JOURNAL","volume":"65 4","pages":"412-431"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141624590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
