	Encyclopedia: Lumen Gentium
		Lumen Gentium, the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, is one of the principal documents of the Second Vatican Council.
		"Lumen Gentium" is Latin for "Light of the Nations" and appears in the first line of the document, as is customary with significant Catholic Church documents.
		Certain Traditional Catholic and Sedevacantist groups consider Lumen Gentium to be the demarcation of when the Roman Church fell into heresy, pointing to the use of "subsistit in" rather than "est" as an abdication of the Church's historic (and to them compulsory) identification of itself alone as God's church.

		THE SUBVERSION OF LUMEN GENTIUM - James Hitchcock - Catholic Dossier - May/June 2000
		Two generations of Catholics have now been educated to believe that in effect it abolished the hierarchical conception of the Church, substituting in its place the idea of “the people of God,” which is then understood as essentially a democracy.
		Lumen Gentium also referred to “the pilgrim Church,” an image soon seized upon without regard for what religious pilgrimage means.

	[No title]
		Lumen Gentium also has the distinction of being the very first such document of Vatican II, the only previous documents released the previous year merely having set up "committees" to do whatever.
		Therefore, the apparent "heresy" of Lumen Gentium is not meant to have anything to do with any dogma or doctrine of the Church.
		Legally, Lumen Gentium itself is only a partial resignation, assigning them new offices but not removing them from their former offices.

	Magisterium of Vatican II
		By itself, the text of Lumen Gentium is only ambiguous or male sonans: that is, two readings are possible, by reason of the improper terms used, and therefore is able to be interpreted in a heterodox manner.
		In the light of all of the conciliar "magisterium" we can say that Lumen Gentium, 7 is sapiens haresim (smacks of heresy), that is, the heretical meaning is that which has been sought, of which we have moral certitude in the light of what we have explained at the beginning of this article.
		Lumen Gentium introduces a sophistic and false notion of the subject of the power of teaching and jurisdiction in the Church, and therefore alters the divine structure of the Church.

		The name, Lumen Gentium, is the Latin title and first two words for that document from the Second Vatican Council called the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church.
		Each member of the Body of Christ is also a "light for all the nations," and deserves to be called such since "the laity derive the right and duty of the apostolate from their union with Christ the head.

	THE CHURCH AS THE PEOPLE OF GOD IN LUMEN GENTIUM - Douglas G. Bushman - Catholic Dossier - May/June 2000
		Since the interpretation of specific points of doctrine is inseparable from an understanding of the Council’s general purpose, this article begins with a first set of reflections on the pastoral nature of Vatican II, and then considers a number of fundamental elements of its teaching on the Church as the People of God.
		Lumen gentium and the pastoral purpose of Vatican II
		Lumen Gentium uses the adverb, indefectibiliter, three times, one of which is “the Holy Spirit indefectibly preserves the form of government established by Christ the Lord in His Church” (LG, 27).

		Note: This was written as a Nota Praevia, a preliminary introductory note, to the document, Lumen Gentium.
		It was, in defiance of Pope Paul VI's wishes, relegated to the Appendix of the document in published editions of the Second Vatican Council's documents.
		The nota-appendix clearly states that the Council was a pastoral one and clarifies the notion of collegiality in order to prevent Modernists from diminishing the power of the Petrine Ministry while elevating that of the College of Bishops, which Lumen Gentium could be -- and has been -- interpreted to call for.

	MODULE 4: THEOLOGY OF THE CHURCH
		Lumen Gentium presents the church as a mystery in a way that is generally faithful to the development of the notion in the Pauline literature of the New Testament.
		The mystery, which is not simply a matter beyond our understanding but a vast sacred reality that has in fact been revealed to us, is the mystery of Christ, the plan for all things designed for eternity to take effect ‘in Christ’ (in Paul’s frequent phrase).
		Read Lumen Gentium chapter 1 and sketch the broad dimensions of the mystery of the church, beginning with design of the eternal Father (paragraph 2).

		Lumen Gentium acknowledges the distinction between the church and the Kingdom.

	The History and Significance of "Subsistit in"
		To adequately discuss the significance of the term « subsistit in » in the Dogmatic Constitution Lumen Gentium it is necessary to recall that the presumption of correct interpretation is with the official explanation given for the text at the time prior to its approval.
		This teaching of Lumen Gentium is therefore somewhat metaphorical, and hence I believe, not strictly an accurate theological statement.
		It is for this reason that the statement "The Church of Christ subsists in the Catholic Church" excludes the possibility of the existence of "The Church of Christ" outside the Catholic Church in any manner except in that circumscribed by the metaphysical term "accident," which excludes real, substantial, individual being.

	extraordinary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Furthermore, if the "extraordinary gifts" are the same as "charismatic gifts", then the writers of Lumen Gentium would be placing themselves on the horns of a dilemma within the same paragraph of their document--whichever way they turn, they're caught.
		Remember: Lumen Gentium was published in 1964, three years before the start of the Catholic Pentecostal Movement in 1967.
		To strengthen this conclusion, consider the following statement from section 12 of Lumen Gentium, "nor are the fruits of apostolic labor to be...expected from their use." It does make sense to say that someone who uses levitation or contemplation should not expect to convert three thousand people in one day by levitating or contemplating.

	The ordination of women in the Roman Catholic Church
		We see that the Cardinal is proposing that Pope John Paul II's ban against ordaining women was infallible and irreformable because of the fifth mode of teaching as outlined in Lumen Gentium.
		Yet the fifth mode of teaching as stipulated by article 25 of Lumen Gentium speaks of a mode of infallible teaching of the worldwide Bishops of the Catholic Church.
		Cardinal Ratzinger refers to Lumen gentium in his declaration that John Paul II speaks with the infallible voice on this matter.
