Ecclesiastical changes resulting from the Second Vatican Council
inspired a revised approach to the issue of sharing the Eucharist
with those who are not in full communion with the Catholic Church.
In Sharing the Eucharist, Myriam Wijlen offers a detailed analysis
of the Council's schemata, interventions, and texts in an effort to
determine the theological values that inspired subsequent policies
on the issue of communion. Wijlen bases her work on the notion that
there ought to be an organic relationship between theological
insights and the norms that govern the life of the Catholic
community. Her rigorous approach allows her to identify areas where
there is already organic unity between the insights of Vatican II
and Church legislation. In the process, she also reveals several
matters where additional work is needed and offers suggestions for
the continued implementation of the Council's vision and intent. An
unprecedented work that makes a genuine contribution to the
ecumenical movement, Sharing the Eucharist has great significance
for religious scholars and clergy who are concerned with the unity
of Christian churches. Text also includes a foreword by Johannes
Cardinal Willebrands, the former President of the Secretariat for
Christian Unity of the Vatican.
