By the doyen of Vatican II studies, this book illuminates the key events and meaning of the most important religious event of the twentieth century.The Second Vatican Council, summoned by Pope John XXIII on Christmas day 1961, began in October 1962. Meeting in four autumn sessions from 1962 to 1965, Pope John's Council was a watershed in both world Christian and world religious history.With brevity and insight, Giuseppe Alberigo tells the story of Vatican II Council for a generation that has come of age since its close. He shows us a Council that Pope John called to renew not just the church but Christianity as a whole. He shows that that vision was realized in ways far beyond its participants' ability to understand.

Un nuevo Pentecostés de la Iglesia del siglo XX. El impulso profundamente cristiano del papa Juan XXIII dio unos frutos espléndidos que, a pesar de todos los altibajos, siguen vivos hoy y, sobretodo, siguen siendo semilla de futuro. Porque, con aquella reunión universal de obispos, la Iglesia fue capaz de buscar, en las fuentes del Evangelio, cómo debía renovarse en su interior, y cómo debía actuar ante un mundo que había cambiado radicalmente, y que ya no aceptaba una autoridad eclesial que antes siempre se había dado por supuesta. La Iglesia, bajo la guía del Espíritu Santo y con el buen hacer de Juan XXIII y, después, de Pablo VI, supo marcarse unas líneas de actuación que vale la pena recordar ahora, en el cincuentenario del inicio conciliar, como luz que nos sigue guiando en estos tiempos nuestros tan desconcertados. Nueve autores nos ayudan a rememorar el acontecimiento y su significado, desde diversas perspectivas, para que podamos continuar bebiendo de su riqueza, el servicio del Evangelio de Jesús, en la Iglesia y en el mundo.

The central document of the Second Vatican Council, Lumen Gentium was promulgated by Pope Paul VI on November 21, 1964. This document is "the keystone" of the Councils whole Magisterium. It focuses on the whole Church as a communion of charity. With it, according to John Paul II, the Second Vatican Council wished to shed light on the Churchs reality: a wonderful but complex reality consisting of human and divine elements, visible and invisible.

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.

This masterful work by Dr. Laurie Olsen uncovers the behind-the-scenes story of the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church Lumen Gentium VIII based on unpublished records from the Vatican Apostolic Archives, including internal memoranda, private notes, never-before-heard audio recordings of closed-door sessions, and more. This monumental achievement of archival research provides a window into what really happened at Vatican II—the council’s inner workings and maneuvers to steer Lumen Gentium VIII in a direction that would profoundly affect marian devotion and the study of mariology from that moment on.

La elección de Francisco, el 13 de marzo de 2013, no solo cambió el paisaje de la Iglesia, sino también el debate sobre el Vaticano II. Es el primer papa posterior al Vaticano II que no participó en él, se formó durante el Concilio y el primer posconcilio, y fue ordenado sacerdote en 1969. El hecho de que Francisco menciona el Concilio con prudencia y, a menudo de forma indirecta, renunciando a las intervenciones papales en el debate sobre la hermenéutica conciliar, no debe dejar ninguna duda sobre la calidad conciliar de este papa y de su pontificado

The Cold War has ended. With a scope and daring not possible until now, an unlikely international alliance of top-level political, financial, and religious interests sees the way clear at last to its ultimate goal: the establishment of a single global society. Utopia. These are men with nothing in common but immense power and a towering ambition for still more. With world unity and prosperity as their slogan--and with betrayal, scandal, and murder as their ready weapons--they have the means and the will to capture as their own the perfect global machinery for their plans: the oldest, wiliest, and most stable political chancery in the world--the Vatican. At the vortex of this lethal struggle stands the embattled Pope, a geopolitical genius whose elimination is the short-term solution to a long-term goal, and two American brothers, Paul and Christian Gladstone, one a lawyer and the other a priest, who appear to be the perfect pawns. One falls prey to the sharp teeth of greed for power. The other will become one of the Slavic Pontiff's closest allies...and will discover the darkest secrets at the very heart of papal Rome. From America to Europe to Russia, in broad landscapes and clandestine corridors, a rich and varied cast--presidents and politicos, simple saints and savvy sinners, popes and pope-makers--clash with one another amid dramatic and sometimes bloody events that will affect the destiny of every person alive today.
