Book excerpt: Introductory ; Essay by Pope Benedict XVI This collection ; includes the four constitutions of the Second Vatican ; Council, the most popular and key documents for ; understanding the Council itself, its decrees, and its ; declarations. Few events in the history of the modern ; Catholic Church have been as far-reaching as the Second ; Vatican Council (1962-1965). And few have been as ; controversial. No one denies great changes have come about ; since the close of the Council. Have the changes been all ; good, all bad, or a mixture of both? To what extent were ; the changes, for good or ill, the result of the Council ; itself? Some have criticized the Council for not ; going far enough, though they maintain that the ""spirit ; of Vatican II"" supports their rejection of many firmly ; established Catholic beliefs and practices. Others claim ; the Council went too far and abandoned certain fundamental ; Catholic tenets in the name of ""updating"" the ; Church. The popes of the Council-John XXII and Paul VI-and ; their successors who also participated in the Council -John ; Paul I, John Paul II, and Benedict XVI-have insisted that ; the Council itself was the work of the Holy Spirit. They ; have aggressively criticized misinterpretations and ; distortions of it. They insist that the Council be ; understood in fundamental continuity with the Church's ; Tradition, even while deepening the Church's ; self-understanding and calling for authentic reforms and ; renewal of Catholic life. Readers can learn for ; themselves what the Second Vatican Council taught using ; this highly accessible collection of its basic ; texts. This book uses the Catholic Truth Society ; translation and features: The Constitution on ; the Sacred Liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium, ; introduced by Cardinal Francis Arinze. The ; Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, Lumen ; Gentium, introduced by Cardinal Paul ; Poupard. The Dogmatic Constitution on Divine ; Revelation, Dei Verbum, introduced by Archbishop ; Charles J. Chaput, OFM, Cap. The Pastoral ; Constitution on the Church in the Modern World, Gaudium ; et Spes, introduced by Cardinal Angelo ; Scola. Four major aspects of the Church's ; life-the Sacred Liturgy, the mystery of the Church herself, ; the Word of God, and the Church in the world as it is ; today-are explored. No twenty-first-century Catholic should ; be without these four foundational texts in this superb ; translation. The collection also includes a general ; introduction by Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San ; Francisco, as well as an address given by Pope Emeritus ; Benedict XVI in 2005, explaining how best to understand the ; Second Vatican Council in the history of the Church.

Download or read book Keys to the Council written by Richard R. Gaillardetz and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the church marks the fiftieth anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council, too few Catholics have an adequate grasp of what the council contributed to the life of the church. The problem is understandable. The Second Vatican Council produced, by far, more document pages than any other council. Consequently, any attempt to master its core teachings can be daunting. There is a danger of missing the forest for the trees. With this in mind, Keys to the Council identifies twenty key conciliar passages, central texts that help us appreciate the Vision of the council fathers. Each chapter places the given passage in its larger historical context, explores its fundamental meaning and significance, and finally considers its larger significance for the life of the church today. Chapters include exploration of Sacrosanctum Concilium's demand for full, conscious, and active participation in the liturgy; Lumen Gentium's eucharistic ecclesiology; Gaudium et Spes's vision of marriage as an intimate partnership of life and love; Nostra Aetate's approach to non-Christian religions; and more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pourquoi, dix ans après, un nouveau livre sur le concile Vatican II? Qualifié d'historique avant même que la date de ses assises ne soit arrêtée, le second concile du Vatican a suscité, aussitôt terminé, une réaction générale de désintérêt. Ses chroniqueurs abondèrent. L'histoire le boude. L'impossibilité d'accéder aux archives essentielles du concile n'est pas seule en cause. Le bilan de Vatican II a paru si dérisoire par rapport aux espérances entretenues pendant près de six ans que toute analyse du concile s'est trouvée dénuée d'attrait. Faut-il rappeler, pourtant, que le terme-cliché de " crise de l'Église " a fait sa réapparition avec le concile que personne ne réclamait. Partant de cette constatation, Philippe Levillain a voulu déterminer pour quelles raisons l'assemblée immense chargée de mener à bien l'ample réforme que Jean XXIII souhaitait voir l'Église opérer sur elle-même a glissé progressivement de la ferveur enthousiaste à la résignation lucide. Comment écrire un tel livre? " Philippe Levillain, précise René Rémond dans sa préface, a marié les approches et les méthodes, pratiquant une authentique pluridisciplinarité, à laquelle le sujet l'invitait. À des interrogations qu'il emprunte à la problématique des sciences sociales et singulièrement à la science politique, dont il est visible que les préoccupations lui sont familières, il répond par une analyse attentive aux circonstances et aux conditions du singulier concret dans lequel s'est enracinée la pratique des sessions du concile." Ce qu'un tel livre apporte. L'auteur dégage de cette analyse une explication des obstacles rencontrés longtemps par Vatican II dans la quête d'une nouvelle modernité de l'Église. Chemin faisant, dans l'étude des relations complexes entre la nécessité et la contingence, il éclaire, grâce à des archives privées diverses et riches, certains grands moments du concile. Il montre à quel point procédure et théologie des pouvoirs sont, par essence, indissociables et comment le vote du principe de la collégialité, intervenu en novembre 1963, a définitivement changé la nature du concile telle qu'elle se présentait dans l'ecclésiologie de l'Église depuis le concile de Trente. Cet important travail, en apportant une lumière neuve sur un mécanisme le plus complexe qui soit, intéressera historiens et sociologues et tous ceux qui veulent rester attentifs à l'évolution historique de l'Église

Download or read book The Second Vatican Council written by Gerald O'Collins and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2014-08-14 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Convened by Pope John XXIII, the Second Vatican Council (1962–65) profoundly changed the self-image and life of the Catholic Church. But understanding, interpreting, and implementing Vatican II still remain a task far from completed. Pope Francis has given fresh impetus toward practicing the Council’s teaching about a humble, servant Church that pursues justice and peace for the whole world.This book explores and presents Vatican II’s developments in doctrine about divine revelation; the nature, mission, and collegiality of the Church; religious freedom; and the divine grace that reaches all human beings. It takes up the profound significance of the liturgy constitution, which opened the way for the Council’s subsequent teaching.In documenting the renewal and reform conveyed by the message and meaning of Vatican II, this book illustrates the scholarship and accessible style for which Gerald O’Collins has become renowned.
Download or read book Documents of the Second Vatican Council written by Bartholomew C. Okonkwo and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-09-02 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty years ago, the Catholic Church made radical changes. As he opened the biggest gathering of Roman Catholic bishops in history, Pope John the 23rd said it was time to throw open the windows of the church. The Second Vatican Council sent the church hurtling into the 20th Century. After three years of meetings, the Council produced 16 documents - a bold manifesto for modernisation and renewal. It changed the language and style of the mass, permitting Catholics to worship in their own tongue, rather than in Latin. It also called for a new engagement with other faiths, the secular world and with the experiences of Catholics across the globe - men and women, rich and poor. Yet Vatican II is being misquoted, misinterpreted! The actual documents of Vatican Council II are required reading for anyone who wants to know what the Catholic Church really teaches. The volume has given us a very readable presentation of the sixteen basic documents of Vatican Council II.

Download or read book Conciliar Octet written by Fr. Aidan Nichols. O.P. and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2019-08-21 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lively debate continues in the Roman Catholic Church about the character of the teaching provided by the Second Vatican Council. Did it represent a decisive rupture with previous doctrine or the continuation of its earlier message under new conditions? In this work Dominican scholar and writer Aidan Nichols maintains that the Council texts must be interpreted in the light of their genesis, not their aftermath. They must be seen in the light of the public debates in the Council chamber not the hopes of individuals behind the scenes. On this basis, he provides a concise commentary on the eight most significant documents produced by the Council, documents which cover rather comprehensively all the major aspects of the Church’s life. The texts that emerged from the often-impassioned debates permit a reading of a classically Christian kind, and that is precisely what Nichols offers in this book.
