"Catholic" Christology is already free from anything Catholic since the first is now deeply rooted in
Spirit Christology. Spirit Christology may be identified as the old heresy of
Dynamic Monarchianism and where it is not strait forwardly anti-Trinitarian, it may be just called warmed up
Nestorianism, though it's Trinity may not be called one. Just have a look at Cardinal Walter Kasper's new own Christology which he names
pneumatologically orientated Christology. In his book "Jesus the Christ" with just a few lines Kasper reconciles Nestorius and does not feel any need to take any distance from him further on. The Holy Ghost is not Christ's Spirit any more, but Kasper together with the Vatican II Church is presenting us a Jesus who is the Christ of the Spirit, the Pneumatic Christ. That was condemned on the Council of Ephesus (can. 9 of the 12 anathemas against Nestorius, Denz. 121; also note can. 7).
The
Hegemonikon (lat: principale) of the traditional Christology was the Eternal Word Himself who became Flesh and Man in Jesus Christ. One could speak of the
Verbum principale, the
Logos hegemonikos. But Kasper who doesn't like St. Cyrill's Christology was looking for a new
Hegemonikon to explain Christ's
Messianity (which is not worth to be named Incarnation neither hypostatic Union) . He found it just like the Nestorians in the
Pneuma, the Spirit. So Kasper shifted from the
Logos hegemonikos to the
hegemonikon Pneuma, from the
Verbum principale to the
Spiritus principalis. And so did the
Novus Ordo of Episcopal Consecration. The
Spiritus principalis is a direct negation of the Christology of the Catholic Church and opposed to the
Principale of the
Verbum in respect of the
Incarnation of the
Eternal Son. It almost goes without mentioning that the author of this Novus Ordo rite of Episcopal Consecration, F. Joseph Lécuyer, was himself, too a partisan of Spirit Christology.
Lécuyer worked in the Consilium for the Implementation of Constitution on the Liturgy under Archbishop Annibale Bugnini during the pontificate of Paul VI.
