| 總結: | Dom Virgil Michel (1890-1938) was a Benedictine of the Midwest, U.S.A. Working intensely at the turn of the twentieth century, under the pressure of being on time, he was deeply aware that Catholic spirit had to express itself in everyday living if it were to be truly authentic. In his own life this bore fruit on many fronts: liturgical renewal, educational reform, philosophical apostolate, ecumenical efforts, social theory for Catholic action, and social action for Catholic living. Precocious as a theology of the laity, his theology of the sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation struck at the very heart of the vocation and mission of all members of the Mystical Body, and has even been considered a theology of fellowship, a veritable theology of grace. Virgil Michel Faces the New Age with an apologetics for a renewed Catholic sacramental theology. While listening to him in his pre-Vatican II setting, this work enjoys the further advantage of observing the tenets of the Catholic faith within theological developments and philosophical currents of the final years of the Second Millennium. Fascinating and attractive, intent on restoring vitality to Catholic worship, especially among youth, his theology of Baptism and Confirmation presented the intimate personal experience of the supernatural life, entering a mysterious, inner dimension of the self. But it was also a social, ecclesial experience. It was by no means the same, humanly speaking, to be baptized or not to be baptized, to be confirmed or not to be so. |
