Mgr Di NOIA serait un "thomien" post-thomiste.

Je résume l'article tout récent d'<Ignatius Insight>
1) Le nouveau Secrétaire de la Commission Ecclesia Dei a publié une étude où il semble voir la Messe comme un "banquet mystique", mais sans nier sa nature sacrificielle.
2) Il préfère nettement le "ressourcement" à l'"aggiornamento" pour l'herméneutique de Vatican II;
3) Il pense que l'avenir est à un thomisme allégé de bien des scholies néo-thomistes, et directement fidèle au Docteur Angélique.

DiNoia reviews two important concepts that provided a program for the Council.  The first is ressourcement, a French word meaning return to and “creative reappropriation of [the] principal formative sources” of Catholicism:  “Scripture, liturgy, and the Fathers of the Church”.  The second is aggiornamento, an Italian word meaning “updating”.  Whereas the Council tried to balance ressourcement and aggiornamento, tradition and renewal, in the media and among the general public “reform and renewal were widely viewed as equivalent with modernization.... the program of aggiornamento prevailed in the American Catholic reception [understanding] of the Council from the outset.”  The author’s language is polite, but he clearly does not approve of that one-sided “reading” of the Council. 
Neo-Thomism—the dry, systematized Thomistic theology of the Latin manuals used for generations in seminaries—“supplied the means to refute the errors of modernity rather than to engage its challenge”.  This almost airtight academic system could not deal either with the pluralism of twentieth-century ressourcement:  the proliferation of new theological approaches (e.g. the Liturgical Movement, Biblical theology, more in-depth studies in patristics).  “Many American theologians drew the conclusion that neo-Thomism was incorrigibly anti-modern and obscurantist, and that it had so far crippled the Church in its encounter with [the modern world].” 

As a Dominican Friar who taught his confreres theology for decades, DiNoia is aware that “there is a post-Thomistic Aquinas, an Aquinas unencumbered by the enormous weight of commentary, debate, and systematization that has made his thought seem inaccessible to modern theologians and unusable for their theological work, an Aquinas who speaks with pristine clarity to a host of urgently postmodern theological questions.” 
Things to take away from DiNoia’s turn-of-the-century discussion:  the theology of Thomas Aquinas is a great treasure for the Church.  The dry Latin theology manuals in the seminaries were not necessarily the same thing.  The documents of the Second Vatican Council have lasting value because they were produced and approved by an Ecumenical Council under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.  The interpretations of those documents by enthusiasts who emphasized “renewal” and ignored “tradition” were not necessarily the same thing.
