Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Paperback. The Catholic Church, unlike any other institution on earth, has endured for two millennia, weathering storms of persecution, schism, heresy, and even corruption from within. Across the centuries, ecumenical councils served as the great anchor of continuity. From Nicaea in 325 to Vatican I in 1870, the pattern was consistent: councils met in times of crisis, defined truth with clarity, condemned error with authority, and ensured that the faith of the Apostles was handed down without dilution or compromise. This was the unbroken rhythm of Catholic history until the 1960s. In October 1962, under the banner of aggiornamento (updating), Pope John XXIII opened what he called a "pastoral council." Vatican II would not, he assured the faithful, issue new dogmas or condemn errors in the solemn way councils always had. Instead, it would adopt a new tone, a new style, a new openness to the world. The council fathers were to emphasize dialogue rather than definitions, encouragement rather than anathemas, and adaptation rather than preservation. At the time, this vision seemed hopeful to many. The 20th century had been scarred by two world wars, the rise of communism, and the decline of Christian influence in Western life. The Church, John XXIII believed, should open her windows and let in the "fresh air" of the modern world. Vatican II, he said, would not be about condemning but about proposing, not about clinging to the past but about meeting the present. But in the years that followed, it became clear that Vatican II was not simply a shift in tone. It was a rupture a break with the very councils that had given the Church her stability. Instead of reaffirming and building upon Nicaea, Florence, Trent, and Vatican I, Vatican II ignored them, contradicted them, or left them behind. The Church had never seen anything like this.
