Among the private diaries of Vatican ii, those of Yves M.J. Congar (1904–95) and Henri de Lubac (1896–1991) are undoubtedly the most important. The aim of this article is to assess the significance of Congar’s My Journal of the Council in order to draw attention to its significant influence in the on-going reception of the Vatican ii, and to the perennial challenge of reform in the Church. Congar was one of the most prominent of the ressourcement theologians, associated principally with the Jesuits of Lyon-Fourvière and the Dominicans of Le Saulchoir, Paris. Their influence pervaded French society and theology in the period 1930–1960, and beyond, and inspired a renaissance in Catholic thought. The article assesses Congar’s role in that renaissance, as well as his immense participation in the elaborate work of the Council, not least his involvement with the Belgian theologians with whom he formed a strategic liaison.

See Congar, Dialogue between Christians, p. 32 (p. xliii). De Lubac also refers to the spirit of hope, creativity, and originality that pervaded this period in the history of the French church, with Chantiers de Jeunesse and the Cahiers du Témoignage chrétien producing a rich harvest.

Just as earlier, in the sixteenth century, it had been the “intellectual capital” of France, it became in 1940, the “capital of the Resistance”.’

Very soon I received word that I was to be first a consultor on the theological commission preparing for the Council, and then a peritus at the Council itself.’ See Stefano M. Paci, ‘“Le Pape obéit aussi”: Entretien avec le théologien Yves Congar’, 30 jours dans l’Église et dans le monde, 3 (1993), pp. 24–29 at pp. 24–25.
