An important event of the Orthodox world of the last year was the Cathedral, which took place on June 19-28 on. Mole. The extraordinary nature of this council is that it was convened 1229 years after the last (seventh) Ecumenical Council in 787, which was not yet split into Orthodoxy and Catholicism (which occurred in 1054) of a single Christian Church. The Catholic Church then independently held its 22 councils, the last of which - the Second Vatican Council was held in 1962-1965. In Orthodoxy, extraterrestrial silence prevailed, since its hierarchs believed that for the "fullness and maturity" of the Christian Church there was enough canonical work of the seven Ecumenical Councils that took place during 325-787 years.

Full textAbstract:
The primary purpose of this paper is to present the post-council theology in terms of theology of primacy of the most important theologians and in the most important documents in the period after the Second Vatican Council. Based in its documents, the Council made a huge turn in the Roman Catholic ecclesiology. However, although the Ecumenical Council did not give any final solutions, documents about the most important issues remain open for further reflection and contemplative upgrading. The Council only laid the foundations on which such an undertaking could begin. The paper focuses on theology of primacy that evolved from the Council?s documents during the period after the Second Council. The focus will be on subjects that had an impact not only on the Roman Catholic, but in particular on the Orthodox and other churches as well. The author of the paper will say more about the infallibility of the Pope, the primacy of the Roman bishop, about the relation of the Pope with other bishops, and about the relation of local and universal Church in the light of the post-council theology. Particular attention will be paid to the New catechism, a statement of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith Mysterium Ecclesiae, and the dispute between cardinals Joseph Ratzinger and Walter Kasper about the relation between the universal and local Church, with special reference to the letter from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith Communionis Notia, written by Cardinal Ratzinger.

AbstractVincent McCauley, bishop and missionary, was a great champion of the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965). As Bishop of Fort Portal, Uganda, a new diocese in the Western portion of the country (1961–1971), McCauley was instrumental in the full implementation of the 16 documents of Vatican II, but his principal legacy will be his work in the area of ecumenism. Overcoming significant and long standing hostility between Roman Catholics and Anglicans, McCauley was able to forge ecumenical dialogue and programs on various levels. Beginning simply through prayer services and a vernacular translation of the New Testament, he graduated to be a founder and initial chairman of the Uganda Joint Christian Council (UJCC), an organization which made great strides in removing government opposition to religion and forging dialogue between Christians in areas of sacraments and social justice. Both simultaneously and after his tenure in Fort Portal, McCauley served as chairman and secretary general of the Association of Member Episcopal Conferences of Eastern Africa (AMECEA). These positions allowed him to continue his ecumenical work on a broader scope.He was instrumental in setting up numerous conferences to foster ecumenical dialogue, various pastoral programs and certain educational initiatives, including the Interdisciplinary Urban Seminar, for which McCauley served as a member of the Academic Board. He was also integrally involved as a member of the advisory board of the Christian Organization Research and Advisory Trust (CORAT), an organization that sought to train church members in organization and management.Vincent McCauley stands as a significant example of one who implemented the ecumenical teachings of Vatican II on local and regional levels. His contribution continues to serve the church in Eastern Africa today.

Full textAbstract:
This article reflects upon Marian apparitions that occurred during the years 1961 to 1965 in the village of San Sebastián de Garabandal, or Garabandal, in northern Spain, giving rise to pilgrimages ever since. The events coincided with the Second Ecumenical Council of the Vatican, or Vatican II. Garabandal is the only Marian apparition event to have prophesied and commented on Vatican II. Nevertheless, in Christendom, travelling to Garabandal is regarded as an alternative pilgrimage.The pilgrimage route is in several ways unique compared to journeys to other Marian pilgrimage shrines, since it has not yet been approved by the Catholic Church. Pilgrimages to Garabandal were even officially forbidden for several years. The Catholic Church authorities originally declared travelling to Garabandal as forbidden for church officials such as priests and others. This article gives an overview of the case of Garabandal through the years and reflect upon why this place is considered special in comparison to other pilgrimage sites. The study examines such aspects of pilgrimages to this village as location and motivation, the Virgin Mary and Marian apparitions and also the messages and miracles of Garabandal.

The history of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) and the theological and archpastoral activities of Karol Wojtyla are inextricably linked, because it was with the participation in the Cathedral of the life of the bishop that a new stage began - he became one of the leaders of the movement for the renewal of the Catholic Church. In 1962-1963, Bishop Karol Wojtyla participated in the work of the 1 st and 2 nd sessions of the Second Vatican Council. It was at this time in Rome that he met with Cardinal Franz König, one of the most influential and intellectual figures in the church in Europe. This was the beginning of an extremely important shift in the career of Bishop C. Wojtyla1. In October 1962, he participates in the work of the first session of the Second Vatican Council as one of his youngest and most active members1 2. Next year, at the closing of the second session, he is appointed archbishop, Metropolitan Krakowski.

The materials and spirit of the Second Vatican Council have largely outstripped the comprehension of the extremely important religious, social, economic, and spiritual problems faced by the modern globalized world. This concerns in many respects the problems of labor, the understanding of the value-motivational factors of attitude towards it. Moreover, the attitude to work has its own social, economic, spiritual and, of course, religious studies. All this can not but correct the problem of attitude to work as a Christian phenomenon in the documents of the Second Vatican Council. In this regard, the very fact that in our time the socio-philosophical science is not sufficiently adapted to the Ukrainian needs and realities of the idea of the II Vatican Council of the Catholic Church (1962-1965) and the council documents of this Church

Full textAbstract:
This essay proposes a development in Roman Catholic ecclesiology following the paradigmatic shift in its self-understanding that occurred at the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965). The Council represented a major shift in the Roman Catholic Church's attitudes towards other religions, Christian traditions, and cultures (including secular culture) from a previous defensive stance to a more positive one. In an unprecedented manner, the Council officials acknowledged that its Church's own self-understanding is enriched by its interactions with these various faith traditions and cultures. Forty years after the Council, however, there remains a need to account for this shift theologically in terms of what was going forward in the Roman Catholic Church's self-understanding.

Full textAbstract:
Until the mid-twentieth century, the Catholic Church did not recognize the principle of religious freedom, and hence the freedom of conscience. That is why her attitude to other religions, especially Christian churches, was based on the ecclesial and soteriological exclusivism "Extra Ecclesiam Romanam nulla salus" - "Out of the Roman Church there is no salvation." The Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) approved the "Decree on Religious Freedom", which opened the way for dialogue with other religions and ecumenism with Christian churches, especially the Orthodox.

Второй Ватиканский собор (1962-1965) поставил перед монашескими орденами задачу обновить принципы жизни, вернувшись к корням понимания монашеского делания и аскезы. В дальнейшем реформа фактически приравняла монашеский путь спасения к пути мирянина, что послужило причиной неоднозначных изменений в католических обществах посвящённой Богу жизни. В статье проводится анализ последствий этих изменений, произошедших в жизни Католической церкви с инициативы Второго Ватиканского собора. В частности, отмечается, что собор запустил процесс административного и прежде всего смыслового реформирования католического монашества. Этот процесс идёт до сих пор и периодически принимает форму кризиса. The Second Vatican Council (1962-65) challenged the monastic orders to renew the fundamentals of their way of life returning to the original understanding of monastic practice and asceticism. Later the reform virtually equated the monastic way of salvation to the layman’s way, and this caused ambiguous changes in catholic societies of consecrated life. The article analyzes the consequences of these changes brought into the life of the Roman Catholic Church due to Vatican II. In particular, it is indicated that the council started the process of administrative and, above all, conceptual reforms in the catholic monasticism. This process is still ongoing and periodically takes the shape of a crisis.

Full textAbstract:
The Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) has brought change into the Roman Catholic Church. Since that day, various changes has taken place within the Roman Catholic Church. Furthermore, the Roman Catholic Church which has always been associated with the Western world, especially European and North American countries, is and will face the "Global South" phenomenon. Some recent studies have shown this real shift. This study will try to present how the “Global South” phenomenon occurs, and what’s the role of the Roman Catholic Church and also local Church, as well as the opportunity to grow and developed more. Discussing also how the Roman Catholic Church which has been built from a fairly long tradition for around two millennia will face the situation of its universality and also at the same time its diversities and localities as the Church becomes increasingly dominated by Catholics in the Global South region. Some of ideas are the Church should embraces Global South, increasingly develop the spirit of renewal and openness, and the most important thing is to involving the participation of local Church in South Countries to overcome social issues that occurs or we called it a Participatory Church.

Full textAbstract:
The years surrounding the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965) witnessed a historiographical revolution that transformed the study of medieval Christianity. One might say that both a new Vatican ecclesiology and the new religious history sprang from the same conceptual root. Even as the Council articulated a definition of the Catholic Church as the people of God rather than simply a hierarchical institution, a number of important scholars were rediscovering the religious history of the Christian people. Shifting their focus away from the traditional monastic treatises on the contemplative life, scholars argued that all believers, and not just clerical specialists in the sacred, had a spiritual life that constituted a proper object for historical study. This new understanding of the history of Christian spirituality rapidly proved enormously fecund, opening as it did novel and exciting prospects for the study of popular religion.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIn Catholic doctrine, church and state are two different and autonomous institutional subjects, but they are mutually linked. Therefore, a believer, as a citizen, is a subject simultaneously of two legal systems; the state is bound to recognize the confessional dimension of its own members, and the church is called to realize its proper ends within a precise political-social context. The Second Vatican Council (1962–1965) constitutes for the Catholic Church a point of change and renewal. It did not limit itself to affirming the coexistence of the two systems in their independence, but it declared the necessity of a mutual alliance for the good of citizens and believers.Therefore, the church offers its own contribution to the state, favoring in this way the right to religious liberty; and the state allows the church to establish itself and carry out its proper mission in an institutional form, guaranteeing the protection of the rights of citizens as believers for the free expression of their faith, whether in a private dimension or in an organized form. Vatican II abandons, therefore, the concept of “state religion” in the classic sense of the term, and thus the privilege reserved to one among numerous religious expressions, and opens an authentic collaboration between parties as a prerequisite for the good not only for individual believers and religious organizations, but also for society itself. In particular, religious liberty finds its foundation no longer in the concept of truth (that legitimized the exclusion of other confessions in that they were “not true”), but in the concept of the dignity of the person, which must be protected as such.

This article examines contemporary orthodox or traditionalist communities that have emerged within the heart of Argentinean Catholicism. The discussion aims to contribute to current debates concerning global religious citizenships in relation to orthodox or traditionalist Catholic communities. Vigorously promoted by Pope John Paul II and now Benedict XVI, such conservative communities have exceeded the nation-state boundaries in which they have arisen and, using global resources from diverse international networks within the Roman Catholic church, they work hard to expand still further throughout the globe. Conservative Catholic communities, which ground their activities in the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965), have found in Argentina conditions particularly favorable for growth. While Argentinean Catholics who participate in such groups are still a clear minority, they currently enjoy a visibility in the public sphere and recognized space within the Catholic church. As they justify their expansion, the communities redefine both the goal and the appropriate territories for missionization. The construction of Catholic community draws on perceptions of a memory of Christianity that go beyond national loyalties, generating for participants new worldviews and forms of sociability within the frame of a “renewed” Catholicism.

The Second Pastoral Consultation of the Diocese of Surabaya held on October 18th-20th 2019 declared the Pastoral Strategic Policy of the Diocese of Surabaya for 2020-2030, formulated in these words: “In the spirit of the Basic Direction, the Catholic Church of the Diocese of Surabaya matures lingkungan rooted parishes present in the middle of the society”. This article wants to know in what matters and how strong this Diocese of Surabaya’s Pastoral Strategic Policy is connected to the voices of the pastors of the universal Church, especially those echoed in the doctrine of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) and that of the subsequent period. It is hoped that such reflection brought a clearer vision and understanding regarding such an important policy, granted that it will lead the faithful people of the Catholic Church of the Diocese of Surabaya in their pilgrimage to God in this world for the next 10 years. By knowing its connectedness with the voices of the pastors of the universal Church, it is expected that the faithful people of the Diocese of Surabaya would be more aware of the voice of Jesus Christ, the Good Pastor, who himself leads his flock to the green pastures of love shared in faith and hope with peoples they enconter.

The Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) drew the attention of Catholics to human dignity of non-Christian believers who have right to their religious identity. After the Council Popes Paul VI, John Paul II and Benedict XVI established and supported the Pontifical Council for Interreligious dialogue with the task to study other religions as they perceive themselves and to organize friendly encounters with their representatives. Pope Francis, elected on 13 March 2013, brought into his ministry the experience of a Church leader in South America. This is why in his teaching documents, encounters and discourses he points out the social role of religion (Evangelii Gaudium, nos 176-258), the need for preserving environment as our common home (Laudato si, 199-245) and special pastoral care of couples in mixed marriages as believers who can practice interreligious dialogue by persevering in their religious affiliation (Amoris Laetitia, 247-248). On his apostolic journeys to Jordan, Palestine, Israel, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Egypt he met representatives of civil authorities and Muslim religious leaders. Sheikh of Al-Azhar Ahmed Al Tayeb gave him the opportunity to address the Muslim participants at the Peace Conference in Cairo on 28 April 2017. Pope Francis’s acts and speeches can inspire Religious Education teachers in Bosnia and Herzegovina to develop respective religious identities in their students by preserving shared values and introducing them to universal ethics.

Este artigo estuda a interpretação do Magistério Eclesiástico da Igreja Católica sobre o laicato na Segunda Conferência Episcopal Latino-Americana, realizada em Medellín (Colômbia), no ano de 1968. Nessa Conferência ocorreu uma tentativa de sistematizar e definir o papel do laicato na Igreja e na sociedade, retomando as intuições do Concílio Vaticano II (1962-1965) e a visão do Magistério Eclesiástico latino-americano. A proposta é, portanto, oferecer uma visão sincrônica e diacrônica da temática, com foco no documento conclusivo da Conferência de Medellín, no que diz respeito à questão do laicato, considerando ainda as implicações históricas posteriores à realização da Conferência, principalmente na XIV Assembleia do CELAM, realizada em Sucre, na Bolívia, no ano de 1972. Assim, o objetivo é demonstrar, numa perspectiva crítica e sistemática, que o leigo na concepção do Magistério Eclesiástico latino-americano teve uma evolução histórica e doutrinal, sempre com muitos desafios e fragilidades, mas, ao mesmo tempo, com esperanças e possibilidades. A Igreja Católica na América Latina, desde a realização do Concílio Vaticano II, vivência um contexto histórico e doutrinal de ambiguidades e contradições, sem perder o ideal cristão, que se pauta numa sociedade justa, solidária e comprometida com a opção pelos pobres. O leigo é chamado a ter consciência dessa realidade e a assumir sua responsabilidade diante dos desafios presentes na própria estrutura da Igreja, assim como na relação com a sociedade. Nesse contexto eclesial e social, não se pode negligenciar a importância da Conferência de Medellín, devido à sua contribuição doutrinal e pastoral sobre o laicato, que será posteriormente retomada nos documentos conclusivos das Conferências Episcopais latino-americanas de Puebla (1979), Santo Domingo (1992) e Aparecida (2007). Abstract: This article studies the understanding of the Ecclesiastical Magisterium of the Catholic Church about the laity in the second Latin American Episcopal Conference held in Medellin, Colombia, in 1968. At that conference there was an attempt to systematize and define the role of the laity inside the Church and society, resuming the intuitions of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) and the view of the Latin American Ecclesiastical Magisterium. So, the proposal is to offer a diachronic and synchronic view about the theme, having the focus on the conclusive document of the Medellin Conference referring the laity issue. It’s also necessary to take in account the Conference subsequent historical entailments, especially at the XIV CELAM Assembly, held in Sucre, Bolivia, in 1972. Therefore, the aimis to demonstrate, in a critical and systematic perspective, that the layman has had a historical and doctrinal development in the Latin American Ecclesiastical Magisterium view, always with many challenges and fragilities, but also with hopes and possibilities at the same time. The Catholic Church in Latin America has experienced a historical and doctrinal context of ambiguities and contradictions since the Second Vatican Council, without losing the Christian ideal that is based on a fair, supportive and committed society with the option for the poor. The laity is called to have consciousness about that reality and to accept his responsibility before the challenges present in the own Church structure and in the relationship with society as well. In this ecclesial and social context, we must not neglect the importance of the Medellin Conference, since it has a doctrinal and pastoral contribution to the laity, which will be resumed later in the conclusive documents of the Episcopal Latin American Conferences in Puebla (1979), Santo Domingo (1992) and Aparecida (2007).Keyword: Latin American Bishops, Conference of Medellín, Laity

Ganhou o mundo, com os novos sujeitos e os desafios da diversidade. E o espírito que esteve sempre presente na TdL foi e continua a ser de uma teologia que luta contra toda forma de opressão, de colonialismo, inclusive da própria teologia, vigilante sobre a libertação dela própria, como alertava Juan Luis Segundo (1978).

It gained the world, with new subjects and the challenges of diversity. And the spirit that has always been present in the LT was and always will be one of a theology that fights against all forms of oppression, of colonialism, including the one from theology itself, always watching its own liberation, as was warned by Juan Luis Segundo (1978). Having been thought of for a few decades already, the decolonial theory is currently more studied than ever. In this regard, the following questions arise: What does it mean? What their genealogies and ideas are about? What sort of criticism does it pose to theological reflection? Currently Postcolonial Theologies emerge. What criticism do they pose to Liberation Theology? From bibliographic research, this article aims to reflect on the decolonial thought, on the relationship between that thought and liberation theology, on the criticism of Postcolonial Theology to liberation theology, as well as the reactions, implications and theological perspectives of these concepts to the Latin American theology.

Full textAbstract:
The Second Vatican Council (1962–1965) is regarded as one of the most significant processes in the ecumenical church history of the 20th century. At that time, a younger generation of Roman Catholic theologians began to make their mark in the church and within the ecumenical theological scene. Their work provided an ecumenical bridge between the Reforming and the Roman Catholic ecclesiastical traditions, notwithstanding the subsequent negative response of the Roman church hierarchy. Despite important advances, recent pontificates significantly altered the theological landscape and undermined much of the enthusiasm and commitment to unity. Roman Catholic theological dissent provided common ground for theological reflection. Those regarded as the ‘enemy within’ have become respected colleagues in the search for truth in global ecclesiastical perspective. This article will use the distinction between the history and the narratives of Vatican II.

The Second Vatican Council (1962–1965) is regarded by many in Protestant circles as one of the most significant processes in ecumenical church history during the 20th century. At the time hopes were high that closer cooperation was a reality to be embraced and achieved. Concurrently, a younger generation of Roman Catholic theologians began to make their mark on the ecumenical theological scene. Their work has provided a bridge between the two ecclesiastical traditions, notwithstanding the subsequent negative response of the Roman church hierarchy. Despite important advances, recent pontificates have destroyed much of the enthusiasm and commitment to unity. This article examines the disjuncture in views regarding the outcomes of the Council and points of contact with Protestant thinking.

Full textAbstract:
The report of a commission set up by Pope Francis to study the question of women as deacons in the Catholic Church was issued in May 2019. Whilst it is well known that the Catholic Church refuses to ordain women, the form of the diaconate being discussed is that of the ‘permanent diaconate’ for men, which was established after the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965). This article first discusses how this issue has arisen, clarifies the types of deacons and reviews the reasons why the Catholic Church refuses to ordain women. It then looks at Scripture and the history of the Church to assess the historical role of women deacons. The issue of women’s ordination emerged after Vatican II (1962–1965). Women’s ministries have grown immensely since then and this is a factor in the question about the ordination of women deacons. There are important theological issues involved in the study around women deacons. Lastly, the article raises questions about the future of this issue under Pope Francis and his successors.Contribution: The issue of the ordination of women deacons in the Roman Catholic Church is a current and contentious issue. This article reviews the historical evidence for women deacons and the views of theologians and Church leaders in order to assess whether there are grounds for hope.

Full textAbstract:
The nature and the missionary role of the laity in the church is one of the issues currently vital to the church and theologians. From the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) perspective, the word laity is technically understood to mean all the faithful except those in holy orders and those in the state of religious life specially approved by the Catholic Church (LG31). These faithful are by baptism made one with Christ and constitute the People of God; they are sharers in the priestly, prophetic and kingly functions of Christ; and they carry out for their own part the mission of the whole Christian people in the church and in the world. However, the distinction between the ordained and the lay is a real one. A great deal of attention has been paid to the ordained ministry of the Church, its nature, its authority and its functions. The laity tends, by way of contrast, to be taken very much for granted, as though in their case no special problems arise. This study discusses the nature, role, and participation of lay people in the mission of the Church as proposed by the Second Vatican Council. It treats succinctly the historical development of the Laity and the challenges and opportunities inherent in their mission.
