The Decree on Priestly Formation, Optatam Totius

Anthony A. Akinwale, O.P.

The Second Vatican Council remains pertinent forty years after its closing session. In a Church that is a communion of Churches, to use a phrase that Jean-Marie-Roger Tillard has brought to our attention (or, to use one coined by the Synod of the Church in Africa to deepen and express the conciliar ecclesiology of communion, in a Church that is the family of God), the council is teaching churches, old and new, what the Spirit has been teaching the Church.1 Speaking in general terms, the council equipped the Church to face new challenges by taking her to her sources as she carries out her mission in the world. Speaking in specific terms, the Conciliar decree Optatam totius on priestly formation equips her to train priests who will be prepared to face the challenges.
