Content and teaching methods

2002-2003 :

Participants in this year's seminar were imaginitively situated in expectation of a mission, confided to them by the Holy See. It is nothing less than preparing to hold Vatican Council III and provide a report on the subject in three months. It is best to take into account and draw lessons from what happened at Vatican II, from its preparation to its consequences. One should investigate the orientations provided by the subsequent synods. The report should give advice on the method to be used, the subjects to be treated, the invitations to be sent, limits to be set, conferences to be foreseen, etc. It is understood, from the outset, that these suggestions are confidential and must be submitted for approval to the Holy Father.
