| Summary: | This is a semi-official revisionism on the history, resolutions, and documents of Vatican II. The contributors include Pope Benedict XVI, and a number of cardinals, priests, and theologians. It tries to reconcile the two questions that have bewildered the Catholic Church for a half century; was there the need for reform inside the church and did the Second Vatican Council achieve the reform needed? The title of the book even reflects this dilemma between what constitutes “Renewal” and what defines “Tradition.” The book is a serious and sincere effort to assess the theological significance of Vatican II, and to square its place in the modern history of contemporary civilization. |
