RT Article T1 What Might Bernard Lonergan Say to Bruce Morrill? JF Theological studies VO 75 IS 3 SP 613 OP 623 A1 Mudd, Joseph C. LA English PB Sage Publ. YR 2014 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1776675584 AB In his analysis of Monika Hellwig’s and John Paul II’s thought on penance, Bruce Morrill identifies a breakdown of shared meaning in the church. This response introduces Bernard Lonergan into the conversation. If Morrill has identified a collapse of consensus around sacramental reconciliation, Lonergan’s theological anthropology, especially regarding questions related to conversion and authenticity, may provide resources for a renewed ecclesial practice grounded in a restored common meaning.
