The Disputed Teachings of Vatican II: Continuity and Reversal in Catholic Doctrine

The Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) radically shook up many centuries of tradition in the Roman Catholic Church. This book by Thomas Guarino, a noted expert on the sources and methods of Catholic doctrine, investigates whether Vatican II's highly contested teachings on religious freedom, ecumenism, and the Virgin Mary represented a harmonious development of--or a rupture with--Catholic tradition.
