From 1962 to 1965, in perhaps the most important religious event of
the twentieth century, the Second Vatican Council met to plot a
course for the future of the Roman Catholic Church. After thousands
of speeches, resolutions, and votes, the Council issued sixteen
official documents on topics ranging from divine revelation to
relations with non-Christians. But the meaning of the Second
Vatican Council has been fiercely contested since before it was
even over, and the years since its completion have seen a battle
for the soul of the Church waged through the interpretation of
Council documents. The Reception of Vatican II looks at the sixteen
conciliar documents through the lens of those battles. Paying close
attention to reforms and new developments, the essays in this
volume show how the Council has been received and interpreted over
the course of the more than fifty years since it concluded. The
contributors to this volume represent various schools of thought
but are united by a commitment to restoring the view that Vatican
II should be interpreted and implemented in line with Church
Tradition. The central problem facing Catholic theology today,
these essays argue, is a misreading of the Council that posits a
sharp break with previous Church teaching. In order to combat this
reductive way of interpreting the Council, these essays provide a
thorough, instructive overview of the debates it inspired.
