Reviews
Ecumenical Councils have typically begun in controversy, have been conducted in further controversy, and have always been followed by yet more controversy. Little wonder, then that there have been only twenty-one of them, by Catholic reckoning, in over two millennia of Christian history. The Great Grace is an important contribution from Down Under to the ongoing interpretation, reception, and implementation of the Second Vatican Council. All those committed to the real Vatican II, as distinguished from the Rorschach Blot Vatican II, are in debt to this book's distinguished authors for their insights and for their passion for authentic Catholic renewal. * George Weigel, Ethics and Public Policy Center, Washington DC, USA *
[This] insightful and timely volume will be appreciated by those interested in the [Second Vatican] Council, particularly those who favor Benedict XVI's idea of approaching Vatican II with a hermeneutic of reform, and by those who, excited by the reforms initiated by Francis, look with excitement to the Church's future. * Theological Studies *
