It is a strange fact that an attentive observer of reality, as was Michel de Certeau, should apparently have paid so little attention to the Second Vatican Council: he dedicated just two articles to it. In this brief reflection the aim is to show how this virtual silence on the part of Michel de Certeau is, on the contrary, a ‘subtle voice of silence’: for Certeau the issue is not one of speaking about, but somehow to speak on the basis of the Second Vatican Council, taking seriously the ‘inaugural’ and methodical character of the event, which made possible what was to follow. The themes, the questions, the places and the personal commitment suggested by the Council are already present in Certeau, and the expression of his life, his competence, his time and his commitments are nothing but one of the possible parables that embody the revolution of the credible that the Council recognises, interprets and inaugurates. This article contains a rapid reconstruction of the scenario and an analysis of the two articles to cast light on some of the key points that Certeau reflects on: particularly the relationship between the today and the founding event that ‘permits’, as well as the role of language-conversation.
