MSP ORGANIZES A THEOLOGICAL UPDATING ON VATICAN II


In keeping with the 50th Anniversary celebration of the Second Vatican Council, the MSP has organized a theological updating on Vatican II on June 26-28, 2013 at the MSP Seminary in Tayud, Consolacion, Cebu.
 
The speakers were three MSP priests: Fr Patrick Casino, Fr Soc Mesiona and Fr Gerome Hernandez. Fr Casino holds a Licentiate in Dogmatic Theology degree from the Gregorian University in Rome. Fr Mesiona holds a Licentiate in Missiology degree from the same university in Rome. Fr Hernandez has a Licentiate degree in Liturgy from Anselmianum in Rome.
 
Fr Casino made a revisit of the Ecclesiology of Vatican II found in Lumen Gentium and Unitatis Redintegratio, that is, the Ecclesiology of Communion. He then connected it to the ecclesiology being envisioned by the Catholic Church in the Philippines. Meanwhile, Fr Mesiona spoke about Mission, as presented in Ad Gentes, and other relevant Vatican II documents. His was a rediscovery of old treasures and seeing what lies ahead in the field of mission. Finally, Fr Hernandez talked about the Theological Significance of the Sacrosanctum Concilium and its applications to the liturgical celebrations.
 
There were 33 participants; all MSP priests working in the Philippines plus Fr Felomino Mahusay who came all the way from Thailand.
