Foreword
The 1991 Pre Marquette Lecture in Theology is the twenty-second in a series commemorating the missions and explorations of Pre Jacques Marquette, S.J., (163775). This series of annual lectures was begun in 1969 under the auspices of the Marquette University Department of Theology.
The Joseph A. Auchter Family Endowment Fund has endowed the lecture series. Joseph Auchter (18941986), a native of Milwaukee, was a banking and paper industry executive and a long-time supporter of education. The fund was established by his children as a memorial to him.
Walter H. Principe, C.S.B., Professor of Theology in the University of Toronto, delivered the 1991 lecture at Marquette University on April 7, 1991. Born in Rochester, New York, in 1922, he went to Toronto in 1940 to join the Basilian Fathers, and has been there ever since, except for studies, research, and some teaching abroad. He was ordained a priest in 1949.

He is also Adjunct Professor of Theology in the Faculty of Theology of the University of St. Michael's College, Toronto, of which faculty he was first Dean. Besides degrees in Political Science and Economics and in Philosophy from the University of Toronto, and a degree in Religious Studies from the cole des Hautes tudes, University of Paris, he holds the Licentiate and the Doctorate in Mediaeval Studies (theology section) from the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, and a Doctorate in Humane Letters (h.c.) from St. John Fisher College, Rochester.
In 1967 he was awarded a Guggenheim Research Fellowship and has had several research fellowships from other granting agencies. He was first president of the Canadian Corporation for Studies in Religion, chair of the Canadian Federation for the Humanities, a Fellow of the Royal Society of

Canada, and an Honored member of the Canadian Theological Society, of which he was president. In 1987 he received the John Courtney Murray Award of the Catholic Theological Society of America (CTSA) "in recognition of outstanding and distinguished achievement in theology," and in 1990 he became President of the CTSA. He has been a consultant on several occasions for the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, was a member of the International Theological Commission, and has served on many Church and University committees. Currently he is an officially appointed member of the U.S. Catholic-Lutheran dialogue and of the United Church of Canada-Catholic dialogue. His publications include five books and some eighty articles in historical and contemporary theology, especially on the Trinity, Christology, and the Church.
In the present lecture, Professor Principe examines the stability and change that have characterized Church teaching throughout Christian history. His discussion of the problem proceeds through an investigation of

Christian faith and the object of faith, to a survey of the fact of change in Church teaching. He then looks at ways in which both stability and change have been manifested throughout the history and the varied cultural milieux of Christianity. He concludes on a note of challenge and hope, calling the whole Church to adopt an attitude of openness to the Holy Spirit. In this openness, the basic stability of our faith in God, God's saving work through Jesus Christ, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit endures, while new insights and understanding can be recognized and received to enrich the whole people of God.

A junior devil asked a senior devil: "Boss, what do we do with all these Catholics who ate meat on Friday?" The junior devil was not the only one to be confused by the change; many devout Catholics were confused and sometimes disturbed by this and other variations that were introduced following the Second Vatican Council. Liturgies were now celebrated in the vernacular. The priest frequently faced the people and encouraged direct responses and more singing. A kiss or handshake of peace was called for. Receiving communion in the hand was made optional. Communion began to be given by lay ministers, including women. Baptism was now deferred until the mother could be present so that she, her husband, and the godparents might profess not the faith of the child, but their own faith as a pledge that the child would grow within a faithful
