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 Vatican II written by Melissa J. Wilde and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On an otherwise ordinary Sunday morning in 1964, millions of Roman Catholics around the world experienced history. For the first time in centuries, they attended masses that were conducted mostly in their native tongues. This occasion marked only the first of many profound changes to emanate from the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965). Known popularly as Vatican II, it would soon give rise to the most far-reaching religious transformation since the Reformation. In this groundbreaking work of cultural and historical sociology, Melissa Wilde offers a new explanation for this revolutionary transformation of the Church. Drawing on newly available sources--including a collection of interviews with the Council's key bishops and cardinals, and primary documents from the Vatican Secret Archive that have never before been seen by researchers--Wilde demonstrates that the pronouncements of the Council were not merely reflections of papal will, but the product of a dramatic confrontation between progressives and conservatives that began during the first days of the Council. The outcome of this confrontation was determined by a number of factors: the Church's decline in Latin America; its competition and dialogue with other faiths, particularly Protestantism, in northern Europe and North America; and progressive clerics' deep belief in the holiness of compromise and their penchant for consensus building. Wilde's account will fascinate not only those interested in Vatican II but anyone who wants to understand the social underpinnings of religious change.

Download or read book A Council for the Global Church written by Massimo Faggioli and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Second Vatican Council ended in December 1965, but Vatican II is still happening in the global church. Catholicism has always had a universal claim, but the globalization of Catholicism as a truly "world church" became part of Catholic theology only thanks to that gathering—decided by St. John XXIII—of bishops, theologians, lay observers, ecumenical representatives, and journalists. Vatican II is the most important event in church history after the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation, and it is the key to understanding Catholicism and its inner tensions today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2020 Catholic Press Association first place award, theology--theological and philosophical studies This book is unique in the literature about Vatican II. From the manifold issues debated at the council and formulated in its sixteen documents, Ormond Rush proposes that the salient features of “the vision of Vatican II” can be captured in twenty-four principles. He concludes by proposing that these principles can function as criteria for assessing the reception of the conciliar vision over the last five decades and into the future. There is no other book that attempts such a comprehensive synthesis of the council’s vision for renewal and reform of the Catholic Church.

Download or read book Vatican II written by Massimo Faggioli and published by Paulist Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The death of John Paul II and the election of Benedict XVI constituted two important elements in the broad theological and cultural landscape of Catholicism. This change of pontificate has also nourished the journalistic and political dispute about Vatican II, its history and its legacy, and not only the historiographical and theological debate. But the research on Vatican II is already proceeding forward and beyond the state of knowledge about the Council reached at the end of the 90s. For 21st century Catholics and theologians interested in understanding contemporary Catholicism in the light of Vatican II the intellectual undertaking is far from accomplished yet. The book offers comprehensive presentation of the theological and historiographical debate about Council Vatican II. The attempt to go beyond "the clash of interpretations" - Vatican II as a rupture in the history of Catholicism on one side, the need to read Vatican II in continuity with the tradition on the other - is necessary indeed because the ongoing debate about Vatican II is largely misrepresented by the use of "clashing interpretations" as a tool for understanding the role of the council in present-day Catholicism.

Download or read book Soldiers of God in a Secular World written by Sarah Shortall and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revelatory account of the nouvelle thŽologie, a clerical movement that revitalized the Catholic ChurchÕs role in twentieth-century French political life. Secularism has been a cornerstone of French political culture since 1905, when the republic formalized the separation of church and state. At times the barrier of secularism has seemed impenetrable, stifling religious actors wishing to take part in political life. Yet in other instances, secularism has actually nurtured movements of the faithful. Soldiers of God in a Secular World explores one such case, that of the nouvelle thŽologie, or new theology. Developed in the interwar years by Jesuits and Dominicans, the nouvelle thŽologie reimagined the ChurchÕs relationship to public life, encouraging political activism, engaging with secular philosophy, and inspiring doctrinal changes adopted by the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s. Nouveaux thŽologiens charted a path between the old alliance of throne and altar and secularismÕs demand for the privatization of religion. Envisioning a Church in but not of the public sphere, Catholic thinkers drew on theological principles to intervene in political questions while claiming to remain at armÕs length from politics proper. Sarah Shortall argues that this Òcounter-politicsÓ was central to the mission of the nouveaux thŽologiens: by recoding political statements in the ostensibly apolitical language of doctrine, priests were able to enter into debates over fascism and communism, democracy and human rights, colonialism and nuclear war. This approach found its highest expression during the Second World War, when the nouveaux thŽologiens led the spiritual resistance against Nazism. Claiming a powerful public voice, they collectively forged a new role for the Church amid the momentous political shifts of the twentieth century.

Download or read book Communion Diversity and Salvation written by Brian Flanagan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-06-09 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questions surrounding the understanding of "communion" are a significant feature of much contemporary ecclesiology, but their prominence calls attention to wider questions regarding ecclesiological method. Brian Flanagan addresses the questions of how to characterize a systematic ecclesiology and the possibility of a systematic communion ecclesiology through an investigation of the concept of communion in the work of Jean-Marie Tillard, OP. Tillard's theology is noted as the most prominent Roman Catholic communion ecclesiology. Flanagan argues that Tillard contributes to systematic ecclesiology by defining the concept of communion in relation to Christology, soteriology, and theological anthropology, thereby framing an answer to the contemporary question of ecclesial unity and diversity. The book also assesses the danger of idealism in Tillard's thought, and suggests that further engagement with social scientific study of the church will help strengthen, nuance, and critique Tillard's idea of communion.
