(en) The article is not intended to provide a detailed account of the evolution of Yves Congar, O.P. in the field of ecclesiological pneumatology, but it is more particularly attentive to the postconciliar and final phase of his thinking concerning the role of the Spirit in relation to ecclesial unity and diversity, as found especially in his trilogy "I Believe in the Holy Spirit" (1979-1980) and in "The Word and Spirit" (1984). Congar went from a Christocentric ecclesiology at the beginning, which was already striving to make a more proper place for the Holy Spirit, and which more and more recognized the Spirit’s proper role in the Church, to an ecclesiology that one could describe as christo-pneumatological, wherein the power of ecclesial communion and diversification of the Spirit is more fully honored.
