Vatican II in Ireland, Fifty Years On by Norbert Hintersteiner

This book commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the Second Vatican Council, which concluded in 1965. A selection of essays by distinguished Irish theologians offers an objective assessment of the historical reception and pastoral implementation of Vatican II in Ireland with the benefit of half a century's hindsight. The authors discuss from a variety of different perspectives the theological significance of the Council for the self-understanding and reform of the Catholic church, both in the past and for the future.
«‘Vatican II in Ireland, Fifty Years On’ is an important contribution to our understanding of the ramifications of a significant event in the history of the Catholic Church»
