“…It was of natural origin and bound by natural law, "while the Church, as a corpus mysticum, the mystical body of Christ," was of supernatural origin and bound by divine law. 9 The Church is also portrayed in Scripture as the Bride of Christ; a motif directly linked to the Church qua Body of Christ. Just as "the husband is the head of the wife" so too is Christ "head of the church, the body of which he is the Saviour."…”

This article explores the Catholic Church’s response to Canada’s Indian Residential School system; namely, how it has chosen to frame and understand its role and responsibility in the harm inflicted upon indigenous persons and communities. The predominant approach has been to spare the Catholic Church itself of culpability while focusing on that of individual Catholics and institutions (e.g., dioceses and religious orders). At the root of this perspective appears to be the distinction between the Church, which is holy, and her members, who are sinners. This article, however, argues that this view is insufficient in light of a christological ecclesiology: Church institutions and members form one body in Christ with two natures, divine and human, which should neither be divided nor confused. With this view in mind, it is argued that reconciliation efforts can and should be made on behalf of not only individual Catholics and institutions, but the Catholic Church as a whole.

The debate over counsels of perfection was a crucial aspect of the formation of political and ethical thought in the sixteenth century. It led both Protestants and Catholics to consider the status of law and to consider how far it obliged human beings, rather than simply permitting particular actions. From Luther onwards, Protestants came to see God's standards for human beings in absolute terms, rejecting any suggestion that there were good works which were merely counselled rather than commanded, and therefore not obligatory. This view of ethics underpinned the Protestant theological critique of Catholic doctrines of merit but it also shaped the distinctively Protestant account of natural law. It enabled Luther and his allies to defend magisterial control over the church, and it also formed a crucial element of Protestant resistance theory. By examining the Lutheran position on counsels, expressed in theological and political writings, and comparing it with contemporary Catholic accounts, this article offers a new perspective on Reformation theology and political thought.
