What are theological notes, and why do they matter? In this edition of In Focus, Father Dylan Schrader examines the history, function, and enduring value of theological notes and censures in Catholic theology. Drawing on the Church’s magisterial tradition, moral and canonical distinctions, and the legacy of the Second Vatican Council, Schrader shows how theological notes serve both to guide the faithful and assist theologians in discerning the weight and authority of doctrinal teachings.
