History's View of Vatican II
by Michael J. Miller


 
The who, what, where, when, and why of the Council
The famous black-and-white photograph of the Second Vatican Council in session, taken from a high balcony at the back of Saint Peter’s Basilica, shows more than 2,000 Council Fathers standing at their places in slanted stalls that line the nave, with more than a dozen rows on either side. It resembles nothing so much as a gargantuan monastic choir—unless it puts you in mind of the British Parliament with the dimensions quadrupled. Contemporary perceptions of the Council varied widely, partly because of the extensive media coverage.  Although it promulgated a dogmatic constitution on the Church, Lumen Gentium, Vatican II was not a “constitutional convention.” An ecumenical council can teach about the Church but cannot modify a divine institution, any more than a pope can invent a new doctrine or change one of the Ten Commandments.

The Year of Faith: Recovering a Culture that is Genuinely Catholic

by Arland K. Nichols


 
On October 11, Pope Benedict called for a “Year of Faith” to “rediscover the journey of faith” in the midst of “a profound crisis of faith that has affected many people.” 
Standing like dust-covered artifacts of a by-gone age, the Catholic Churches of Europe see only a small portion of baptized Catholics on any given Sunday. A majority of married Catholics in the United States, and Europe, use contraception; many support a politically correct redefinition of marriage; and believe abortion is justified; in at least some circumstances. Any survey of Catholics reveals that a majority do not live in accord with, or simply do not know, their Catholic faith.

Will there be a 3-volume box for the set that is attractive for a bookshelf?

[Mark Brumley]

Don't think so. But maybe.

[Charles E Flynn]

A 3-volume boxed set would require cooperation among three publishers, but I thank you for asking, because Mark Brumley's reply reminded me that the discount offer expires at midnight EST on October 23, 2012. Taking no chances, I placed my order with more than 27 hours to spare.
