The Second Vatican Council officially ended forty years ago, but questions about its importance and significance for the Catholic Church continue unabated, as does the debate about whether it was ultimately beneficial or harmful. "Called to Holiness and Communion" features essays by esteemed Catholic leaders and theologians that assess developments in church life since Vatican II. This volume, which contends that the council was a positive force in the church, also offers recommendations for achieving communion with God during daily life.
