About this ebook

Fifty years after its conclusion, the church is still grappling with the meaning and implications of the Second Vatican Council. Rather than rehearse well-worn debates over the Council's interpretation, the contributors to this volume focus instead on where we go from here. What can we do now with the inspiration of the Council teachings in a starkly different world? How do we chart a future for the church? These questions are colored by the new atmosphere created by Pope Francis, who has resoundingly endorsed the Council's program for the Church and urged an openness to follow where the Spirit leads. Topics include the principle of collegiality, the call to justice, the authority of conscience and religious liberty, interreligious dialogue, the role of women, the laity, and the future of ordained ministry.
