 During this period of seminary teaching, Parente wrote frequently for the Vatican newspaper "L’Osservatore Romano".He gained a reputation for his strongly worded, almost blunt, style of communicating official Church doctrine - something for which he is remembered by almost all those who studied under him.He was the first writer to use the term "New Theology" to describe the writings of Marie-Dominique Chenu and Louis Charlier in that paper in 1942, and was influential behind the encyclical "Humani generis" that condemned those theologians eight years later.
