In 1950, the famous Dominican theologian Yves Congar stated that
there were three kinds of reform in Church history, to cure three
kinds of corruption. Doctrinal orthodoxy was reformed by General
councils. Institutional shortcomings were reformed by
administrative means (like codifying Church law). Moral failings
were remedied best by the preaching of religious orders. He also
added that in the 20th century, since the Church suffered neither
heresy nor moral laxity, the only area was institutional reform. He
died before the sexual abuse of children came to light. If Congar
got it wrong, it suggests that the Church cannot reform itself: or
can it? Michael Winter was ordained priest for the Catholic diocese
of Southwark in 1955. He worked for nine years as curate and parish
priest in a variety of parishes. Later he pursued further studies
in theology at the universities of London, Cambridge and Fribourg
(Switzerland), where he was awarded the Doctorate in Theology in
1977. He resigned from the clergy in 1986 and turned to university
teaching, and writing. Subsequently.
