Omschrijving

Max Vodola explains in clear and easy terms the enormous undertaking that was the Second Vatican Council which commenced in Rome in 1962. A Friendly Guide to Vatican II provides the historic background to the council and the key role played by Pope St John XXIII, including the pope's life-long historical study of St Charles Borromeo and the pastoral emphasis of the Council of Trent (1545-63). This pastoral emphasis was decisive in shaping the agenda of Vatican II and John XXIII's call to update the Church (aggiornamento).

The Friendly Guide further explores the Australian contribution to Vatican II - from the involvement of Australian bishops to the key role of the lay observers, especially the 23 female auditors that included Australian Rosemary Goldie, an international expert on the laity. In 1967 Goldie would become the first woman appointed to a senior position in the Roman Curia. Using a contemporary perspective, Vodola offers the reader a deeper look into the ongoing debates about the council, the significance of Pope Francis living the spirit and grace of Vatican II and the Pope's call for synodality in the Church today.

A Friendly Guide to Vatican II will be welcomed by teachers, religious, lay leaders involved in parish ministry and those responsible for faith formation.
