Venerable Fulton Sheen once famously said that ""There are not one
hundred people in the United States who hate the Catholic Church,
but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the
Catholic Church to be - which is, of course, quite a different
thing."" What is the true understanding of the mystery of the
Church? In Lumen Gentium, the Church famously identifies herself as
the sacrament of salvation, and various attempts have been made at
developing an ecclesiology rooted in this idea. Another approach,
nevertheless, prominent in the opening chapter of Lumen Gentium, is
the relation of the Church to the Trinity in light of the divine
missions, especially those of the Incarnation and Pentecost.
Trinitarian Ecclesiology is an example of this approach to the
mystery of the Church that places the divine missions at the head
and the heart of the work. The order of Journet's work is based on
the four causes of the Church. Journet situates the treatise on the
hierarchy in its proper place as belonging to the efficient cause
of the Church in order to treat the more central mystery of the
Church in her formal and material causes, namely the sanctifying
gift of fully Christic charity and its visible manifestation. While
Journet's magisterial work may already be identified as a
Trinitarian Ecclesiology, recent research into the Trinitarian
theology of St. Thomas Aquinas has deepened our understanding of
his teaching, particularly in the way that creatures can relate to
the divine persons in the divine missions. With a clearer
understanding of the relation of creatures to the divine persons
rooted in grace and its effects, a deeper vision of the mystery of
the Church emerges, one that sees the Church as the visible mission
of the Holy Spirit, inseparably joined with the visible mission of
the Son in the Incarnation. The Great Mystery of Christ and the
Church is the unity of the visible missions of the Son and the
Spirit who have been sent into the world for our salvation.
