Preface

Gregory Baum is surely one of the most honest, sympathetic,


and humble theological thinkers the Catholic Church has
been granted over the fifty years since the Second Vatican
Council offered its profound challenge to the Church to be
“the Church in the World.”
Always committed to thinking with the Church, in the
Church, and for the Church, Baum has equally been commit-
ted to exploring the universal and the particular call for
human beings to become fully human – individually, socially
and institutionally. He became one of the Church’s most di-
rect and inclusive explorers of the Gospel imperative to “go
out to the whole world.” Baum accepted the imperative as a
summons to learn from the world, bring it the spirit of open-
ness and resist its dark side so damaging to human life. With
the Second Vatican Council he respected the engagement in
the hearts of all genuine seekers.
In this spirit Baum met and came to know the work of
Fernand Dumont, a sociologist and philosopher recognized in
Quebec as a brilliant public intellectual. Baum acknowledges
in his introductory chapter that this meeting was not a case
of love at first sight – even though his first sight of Dumont
was in connection with the work examined in these pages.
Baum acknowledges he had to grow into his appreciation of

viii Preface

Dumont. He tells us how he met Dumont and this work in the


doctoral examination of Dumont, who, as a sociologist of
accomplishment, had chosen late in his life to seek a doctor-
ate in theology from Laval University. Here is how Baum de-
scribes the context:

I was invited to become one of the examiners of his disser-


tation, yet because his approach to theology was so differ-
ent from the theology with which I was acquainted, I
failed to discover the originality of Dumont’s work. When
I read Une foi partagée [a later Dumont book] in 2011, I
instantly realized that the author was a great theologian,
an original thinker, a courageous Christian philosopher
ready to face the challenges of modernity posed to the
Christian Faith. I was now eager to reread his doctoral
dissertation, published in 1987 as the book L’institution
de la théologie.

Baum draws a certain parallel between Dumont’s magnum


opus and John Henry Newman’s An Essay on the Development
of Christian Doctrine (1845). Newman’s idea of “doctrinal
evolution” – so counter to the defensive and fixated spirit of
neo-­scholastic theology at the time – provided for “a creative
process that allowed the Church to develop its teaching while
remaining faithful to its original truth.” Baum continues:
“Dumont’s book introduces ideas that reveal the relevance
and fecundity of the Gospel in the context created by modern,
secular, pluralistic society.” Yet, he concludes, “Dumont’s
book has not yet been received in the Church.”
In the present volume Baum reveals Fernand Dumont as a
theologian who is historically located. In creating his theolo-
gy, Dumont never leaves behind his experience as a child of
poor working-class parents nor the methodology used in his
sociological studies. Consequently his reading of theological
meaning is embedded in the dynamics of human engagement
– across cultures as well as in the specific realities of a

26865_Baum.indd 8 2015-03-23 11:06:40


Preface ix

dynamic Quebec society and its institutions. Quebec prior to


the Quiet Revolution; Quebec during the high-water effort to
create a distinctive socialist identity for itself as a truly coop-
erative society in which everyone counted; and contemporary
Quebec shaped by a gradual submission to the dominant neo-
liberal model of social existence and development. These his-
torical phases, Baum suggests, form not only the backdrop
but the very ground or matrix of Dumont’s theological reflec-
tion. He explores what it means to be a Church faithful to its
calling that is genuinely engaged with secular culture, sensi-
tive to its best voices and strivings, and at the same time aware
of its destructive potential.
Dumont’s phenomenology of human life, Baum argues, is
in keeping with Maurice Blondel’s understanding of the
human drama: people moved by an inner dynamic to seek the
good and the true to the very limit, witnessing the pull of a
nameless Transcendent in their lives. Man is always more
than man, Pascal wrote; Dumont added to this, a society is
always more than a society. Society, he holds, is also subject
to the pull of the Transcendent.
In his dialogue with contemporary culture Dumont has
great respect for persons of conscience, be they atheists, ag-
nostics, or believers, because their commitment, their fidelity
to conscience, testifies to the summons of the Transcendent in
their lives. Here dialogue leads to mutual understanding and
the discovery of common values, making possible coopera-
tion in the service of the common good. Dumont feels at
home in the pluralistic society. He is not troubled by people
with divergent convictions. What troubles him are people
who are unreflective, purely utilitarian and uncommitted.
With Blondel, Dumont holds that the nameless Transcendent
in people’s lives is the God revealed in the Scriptures.
It seems to me that the journey to such dialogue has its
conditions: the sharing of the foundational value of each per-
son, believer or unbeliever, each a subject, a centre of knowl-
edge, acknowledging full equality, seeking ever wider

26865_Baum.indd 9 2015-03-23 11:06:40


x Preface

solidarity, and practicing mutuality in discourse and action. I


think this requires faith in, commitment to, and need for an
affirmation of the freedom of each one to act on her/his best
understanding and choices – and not on the prior decision of
any group – including the Church. Each person, religious or
not, must be accepted as a subject acting by conscience and
not by command.
Freedom, equality, solidarity, and full mutuality as pillars of
social aspirations are, in fact, modern and contemporary val-
ues shaped as much (or more) by secular discovery and prac-
tice as by religious inspiration. Even as Dumont critiques
individualism, relativism and false absolutes in society, he is
led to recognize that the movement promoting the above-
mentioned shared convictions in unrelievable social pluralism
can ground, for Catholic believers, an enriched, humbled, and
faithful interpretation of the constitutive features of their
communal and institutional living: faith, truth, revelation,
magisterium, and tradition. Dumont’s refreshing treatments
of these features of the institutional life of the Catholic
Church are addressed and unfolded by Baum crisply and with
attractive coherence.
Take truth, for example. Truth is seen by Dumont as not
merely an intellectual concept or affirmation but as personal
understanding grounded in community and in faith. It forms
and refines itself in imagining and feeling, in guiding myths,
poetry and vision, in figures, models, and metaphors prior to
taking expression in concepts. Truth, in Baum’s reading of
Dumont, is essentially the relevance of concepts and procla-
mations to actual living.
Affirming the importance of the cultural context in com-
ing to grasp (or be grasped by) the truth could be seen as
a superficial acceptance of cultural factors over timeless
truths or simply an adaptation of current fashions. This is
not what Dumont has in mind when he claims that truth
must be relevant to contemporary culture. In his encyclical
“The Joy of the Gospel” Pope Francis makes the same claim:

26865_Baum.indd 10 2015-03-23 11:06:40


Preface xi

truth needs to be embedded in a living culture to be effective


in believing.

There are times when the faithful, listening to completely


orthodox language, take away something alien to the au-
thentic Gospel of Jesus Christ because that language is
alien to their own ways of speaking to and understanding
one another. With the holy intent of communicating the
truth about God and humanity, we sometimes given them
a false god or a human ideal which is not really Christian.
In this way, we hold fast to a formulation while failing to
convey its substance. (#41)

According to Dumont, as explained by Baum, the Gospel can


find expression in terms drawn from different cultures, be-
cause biblical truth is more than a series of concepts. Dumont
sees the truth of Jesus not only, and not primarily, in what he
said, but more especially in what he did. Through his actions,
his responses to persons he met, his reactions to challenges
and his readiness to suffer, the presence of Jesus evokes in us
a conversion of heart and a new grasp of the meaning of life.
Inspired by what he said and did, believers find themselves
called to freedom from constriction, to transformation from
fear to trust, and from primary self-concern to love of others
and self-gift.
Because Dumont has reconceived truth in this manner, he is
able to offer original interpretations of the mission of theolo-
gians, the function of the magisterium, the meaning of
Tradition, the place of doctrine in proclamation, and true
membership in the Church. Baum shows that in proposing
these innovative interpretations Dumont draws upon the
faith experiences of the believing community, upon the read-
ing of Scripture by the Fathers and the early Councils, and
upon Christian witnesses throughout the ages.
Baum shows that in the sixties and early seventies Dumont
supported the Quiet Revolution as a left-leaning social

xii Preface

scientist full of hope, while in the eighties, disturbed by the


bureaucratization of society, he feared that Quebec was losing
its creative spirit and the rootedness in its own culture. Taking
into account his entire work, some readers see Dumont as a
progressive thinker with utopian aspirations, while others see
him as a conservative thinker attached to the communitarian
character of traditional society. Baum offers a progressive
reading of Dumont, emphasizing the bold vision he had of the
future Church.
In offering English-speaking readers access to Dumont’s
magnum opus, Baum introduces them to hopeful thinking
following a learned theological methodology that is biblically
based, attentive to tradition and seeks expression in terms of
contemporary culture. Baum’s presentation encourages us to
follow Dumont in fearlessly doing theology in critical dia-
logue with culture, willing to learn from its insights and val-
ues and ready to detect and denounce its dark side: its idolatry,
lies and oppressions. The Gospel challenges the given culture,
utters the truth about it, and offers healing. Dumont extends
an invitation to those in the Church and those who in con-
science remain apart from the Church to come together in
open, respectful dialogue and joint action in the service of
humanity. In offering this author as a model for doing theol-
ogy at this time, Gregory Baum has done us a great service.

Introducing Fernand Dumont

I discovered the thought of Fernand Dumont late in life. In


June 2011 I decided to ask the department of theological stud-
ies of Montreal’s Concordia University to allow me to teach
a graduate course on Catholic theology in French Quebec.
While I had been a professor in the religious studies faculty at
McGill University, an anglophone institution, I was an active
participant in the francophone Church. I joined la Société ca-
nadienne de théologie and was a member of the editorial com-
mittee of the francophone revue Relations, sponsored by the
Jesuit Community. Because of my integration into franco-
phone society, I was unhappy that the theological literature
produced by French Quebecers was largely unknown in the
anglophone theological milieu of North America. That is why
I asked to teach a course on the subject.
In preparation for this course I picked up a book I had
bought years ago, but had never read, Une foi partagée by
Fernand Dumont. The book made a great impression on me.
I knew who this author was. He had been appointed by the
Quebec bishops in 1968 to chair the Commission on the Laity
and the Church, later called the Dumont Commission, whose
task was to listen to the spiritual aspirations of the Quebec
people and propose pastoral policies in support of a
Catholicism appropriate for their society. In the 1980s,
Fernand Dumont, by that time an admired sociologist at

26865_Baum.indd 3 2015-03-23 11:06:40


4 Fernand Dumont

Laval University, decided to acquire a doctorate in theology


at his own university. I was invited to become one of the ex-
aminers of his dissertation, yet because his approach to the
theology was so different from the theology with which I was
acquainted, I failed to discover the originality of Dumont’s
work. When I read Une foi partagée in 2011, I instantly real-
ized that the author was a great theologian, an original think-
er, a courageous Christian philosopher ready to face the
challenges modernity poses to the Christian faith. I was now
eager to reread his doctoral dissertation, published in 1987 as
the book L’institution de la théologie.
Studying this volume was an arduous adventure. Dumont
is a phenomenologist whose major philosophical work has
been the epistemological presuppositions of the social sci-
ences. As an original thinker he has created his own categories
for understanding the evolution of culture and especially the
production of knowledge. Because he brings his philosophical
approach to the study of the production of theology, his book
is difficult to read, especially for a theologian such as myself
who has had no training in phenomenology. But the effort I
made was a joyful experience. I marvelled at Dumont’s famil-
iarity with the philosophers of the West, with the major works
of sociologists and psychologists, and with the literature pro-
duced by Christian thinkers from antiquity to modern times.
In interpreting Dumont’s thought I was aided by conversa-
tions with two scholars, Serge Cantin and Martin Meunier.
Because Dumont’s elevated prose is highly complex and not
always transparent, I offer quotations from his work in free
translation, interpreting his meaning. Yet while L’institution
de la théologie appears to be highly theoretical, it is in fact
concerned with the practical issue of daily life in a culture
that continues to change.
In Quebec, Fernand Dumont is honoured as an original
thinker and a public intellectual whose scholarly work is not
confined to a single discipline. He was a sociologist who pro-
duced social analyses based on empirical research;1 he was a

26865_Baum.indd 4 2015-03-23 11:06:40


Introducing Fernand Dumont 5

phenomenologist who studied the underlying presuppositions


of the social sciences;2 he often referred to his work as an-
thropology because in his research he sought to protect the
humanum;3 as an historian he interpreted the history of
Quebec;4 as a political scientist he made detailed recommen-
dations for Quebec society;5 and as a theologian he produced
three books.6 After his death in 1997, his many books were
republished as his Œuvres complètes in five thick volumes. A
year book, les Cahiers Fernand Dumont, presents articles that
clarify his thought or apply his method to new investigations.
His bibliography was published in book form,7 listing his
books, chapters in books, articles, and reviews, as well as the
secondary literature, the books, articles, and reviews dealing
with his work.
At the same time Dumont was a public figure. He joined
the debates over public policies; he published articles in news-
papers; he was an ardent supporter of Quebec sovereignty
(i.e., its self-constitution as an independent country). For sev-
eral years he exercised a counselling capacity in the Parti
Québécois; in the seventies he promoted a socialism he
thought appropriate for the culture of Quebec; and in the
nineties he became a vehement critic of the bureaucratized
State. Despite his audacious 1964 book on the conversion of
Christian thought and the reform of the Church, the Catholic
bishops, themselves affected by the Quiet Revolution, put
their trust in him when they made him the president of the
Commission on the Laity and the Church in 1968. As I men-
tioned above, the Dumont Report (published 1971) recom-
mended pastoral policies for the future of Quebec Catholicism.
While the bishops were unable to adopt these recommenda-
tions, they exerted a great influence upon Quebec’s theologi-
cal and pastoral literature.
L’institution de la théologie is a seminal work that could
have an important impact on the Catholic Church. It remind-
ed me of John Henry Newman’s An Essay on the Development
of Christian Doctrine (1845). When the study of history in

26865_Baum.indd 5 2015-03-23 11:06:40


6 Fernand Dumont

the nineteenth century made unbelievable the Church’s claim


that its teaching had been identical throughout its history,
Newman introduced the idea of doctrinal evolution, a cre-
ative process that allowed the Church to develop its teaching
while remaining faithful to its original truth. Today, as the
Church’s credibility is threatened by the secularization of
­culture, Dumont’s book introduces ideas that reveal the rele-
vance and fecundity of the Gospel in the context created by
modern society. Yet his book has not yet been received in the
Church. The few reviews published in Quebec journals are
very positive, but they do not tell the reader what Dumont
actually proposes in his work. Nor has it been translated into
English or German. In my book Truth and Relevance: Catholic
Theology in French Quebec since the Quiet Revolution, I
promised to write a long essay on L’institution de la théologie
to introduce its original ideas to an English-speaking reader-
ship. I now live up to the promise with some hesitation. There
is a philosophical depth in the book that I do not fully grasp.
Yet reading the book with my level of understanding offers
original ideas that deserve attention and should become part
of the theological debate in today’s Church.
Before I turn to the study of L’institution de la théologie I
have to offer a brief description of the Church in Quebec so-
ciety and present an introduction to some of Dumont’s basic
socio-philosophical ideas.

Q u e b e c S o c i e t y a n d t h e C h u rc h

Canada was founded early in the seventeenth century as a


colony of France. After the battle of Quebec in 1759 was won
by the British forces, France ceded its North American colony
to the British Crown in 1763. In response to the firm refusal
of the population to abandon its language and its culture, the
Quebec Act passed by the British parliament in 1774 allowed
the new colony to remain French-speaking, retain its own
legal tradition, and stay under the pastoral care of the Catholic

26865_Baum.indd 6 2015-03-23 11:06:40


Introducing Fernand Dumont 7

Church. As English-speaking immigrants arrived in British


North America in great numbers, first as refugees from the
American Revolution, the so-called United Empire Loyalists,
and later as settlers coming across the sea from Great Britain,
they founded several new colonies. A movement to unite the
British North American colonies led in 1867 to the creation
of a single country, the Canadian federation, a Dominion in
the British Empire, that respected the two linguistic commu-
nities and protected their institutions, even as the economic
power was in the hands of merchants and industrialists of
British origin. The people of Quebec remained faithful to
their cultural inheritance. A rebellion in 1836–37 to over-
come the province’s colonial status and acquire democratic
self-government was unsuccessful. In subsequent years, influ-
ential leaders, supported by the Catholic Church, persuaded
the people of Quebec to resist the Protestant culture of North
America, remain farmers and small merchants, be reconciled
to their modest situation, and practice the spiritual virtues.
The cultural development of the province was the work of the
Catholic clergy and the congregations of nuns and brothers:
they created and taught in the schools, the colleges, and the
universities; they built and staffed hospitals, orphanages, and
other institutions serving the common good; they were the
social workers who offered help to the poor and to people in
difficulties. While the Catholic Church was not formally es-
tablished as it was in many European countries, the Catholic
bishops exerted considerable power: they controlled the cul-
ture of the province and influenced the government’s public
policies. Quebecers accepted this clerical domination largely
because a Catholic nation, colonized by an empire of another
faith, tends to look upon the Church as a symbol of identity
and resistance. This happened in Poland under the Russian
Czar, and in Ireland and Quebec under the British Empire.
A rapid cultural change, the so-called Quiet Revolution,
began in 1960. The motto of Jean Lesage, the newly elected
provincial premier, was ‘maîtres chez nous’ (masters of our
