Holy Tradition in Theology of Yves Congar

Abstract

In this study, we tried to present basic but representative outlines of the theology of tradition of the Roman Catholic theologians Yves Congar, who had immense impact on the Second Vatican Council, with his monographs and personal presence as an expert. This very issue of the relationship of the Holy Tradition and traditions is one of the most important research fields for the future cardinal. The formation of the theological oeuvre was caused by ecumenical and internal need of his Church for biblical, patristic and Council-related Catholic position on the issue. In these facts and in the imposed urgency we also find reasons of certain imprecision, vagueness and excessive highlighting of certain points of the triad comprising of the Scripture – Tradition – Church.
