I appreciated his mention of great writer Sr Elizabeth Johnson's work and the need for Catholic lay people in neuromedical science to contribute to catholic theology and help translate new medical science discoveries into accurate and technically appropriate catholic theological interpretations for the future. For example, the catholic term "ensoulment" and how traditional catholic theology today fails miserably to communicate that concept of personhood and new life from the "moment of conception" in a realistic and appropriate manner, especially if it is done by one person alone in a laboratory test tube based on what we now know about reproductive biology and medical neuroscience.

Also what about developments in liturgical theology -- or the absence of it?

Also what about developments in liturgical theology — or the absence of it?

I found the podcast to enhance the article. I was a bit disappointed however in the lack of dialogue in the podcast on the tension between the Vatican's stress (particularly with Pope Ratzinger) on "orthodoxy" and the "dangers of relativism". The Vatican response to many of the Theologians cited in the article has been very negative. Roger Haight has himself come under suspicion and a bit of silencing.
