The Responsible Church: Selected Texts of Cardinal Suhard is a collection of writings by Cardinal Emmanuel-Célestin Suhard that discusses the theology of the church, emphasizes the responsibility of Catholics in Catholic action in his time, contains important texts from the era of Catholic action in Bayeux and Reims, and aims to guide the church in its active role in the world, as recorded in a 258-page book published by Fides Publishers in 1967. This book provides theological guidance on how the church and Catholics should be actively responsible in lay life and the mission of the church and a compilation of Suhard's thoughts on an active and responsible church, highly relevant for the study of theology and history of Catholic action.
