Abstract

"During four years in session, Vatican Council II held television audiences rapt with its elegant, magnificently choreographed public ceremonies, while its debates generated front-page news on a near-weekly basis. By virtually any assessment, it was the most important religious event of the twentieth century, with repercussions that reached far beyond the Catholic church. Remarkably enough, this is the first book, solidly based on official documentation, to give a brief, readable account of the council from the moment Pope John XXIII announced it on January 25, 1959, until its conclusion on December 8, 1965; and to locate the issues that emerge in this narrative in their contexts, large and small, historical and theological, thereby providing keys for grasping what the council hoped to accomplish." "What Happened at Vatican II captures the drama of the council, depicting the colorful characters involved and their clashes with one another. The book also offers a new set of interpretive categories for understanding the council's dynamics - categories that move beyond the tired "progressive" and "conservative" labels. As we approach the fiftieth anniversary of the calling of the council, this work reveals in a new way the spirit of Vatican II. A reliable, even-handed introduction to the council, the book is a critical resource for understanding the Catholic church today, including the pontificate of Benedict XVI."--Jacket.

Abstract

This book is the first major study to analyse the word 'dialogue' in the documents of the Second Vatican Council. 'Dialogue' actually translates two different Latin words, colloquium and dialogus, which do not mean the same thing. After a clear explanation of the important distinction between the dialectic of Thomism, where dialogue leads to an end-point, and the modern meaning of dialogue as an open-ended process between equal partners, the book argues that these dissimilar concepts became blurred in the documents of the Council. A careful analysis of the interpretation of this word in a comparison across five major English translations of the documents demonstrates how the rhetorical power of dialogue was manipulated depending on how it was translated. A provocative assessment of the significance of the different contexts in which each word was used offers a new insight: the existence of a two-tier system of dialogue depending on who was the Church's partner in dialogue. Nonetheless the conclusion illuminates a common subtext to all uses of dialogue and illustrates how it is possible to receive Vatican II in the twenty-first century in an authentically dialogical way.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

Le XXe siècle a vu l'Eglise catholique consacrer peu à peu une canonicité de la conférence des évêques, c'est-à-dire le degré d'autorité de cette nouvelle institution collégiale d'évêques spécifiquement latine, et qui est érigée dans des territoires ecclésiastiques surtout nationaux, mais aussi parfois plus locaux comme par région, ou encore pour de très vastes ensembles continentaux (Afrique, Amérique latine, Europe). La conférence des évêques est devenue un organe permanent, alors que le Synode des évêques, né en 1965 à l'instigation du Bienheureux Pape Paul VI, n'a pas reçu cette compétence. Le Concile Vatican II (1962-1965) a recommandé que les évêques puissent davantage oeuvrer en commun, tout en cultivant leur pleine communion avec l'évêque de Rome, le Pape : la conférence des évêques n'est-elle pas par excellence une expression de la collégialité épiscopale ? Vatican II l'a admise comme l'une des composantes de cette collégialité. Vatican II a consacré et institutionnalisé la conférence des évêques mais sans parvenir à dirimer tous les problèmes liés à son autorité, et à sa juridiction. La qualification par la codification de 1983 semble n'avoir pas suffi. Les débats sur l'autorité juridictionnelle et doctrinale de la conférence des évêques sont désormais éclairés par une requalification de la part de St Jean-Paul II en 1998 : car l'autorité doctrinale de chaque évêque catholique, en pleine communion avec Rome, peut avoir en effet à être exercée de manière conjointe en conférence des évêques.
