Extract
Massimo fa*ggioli has produced a remarkably concise and lucid book that excavates the hermeneutical debates surrounding the Second Vatican Council throughout the past fifty years. The historical and theological analysis of this struggle, he insists, is essential for understanding the ecclesiological and political issues of the Catholic Church today. Though extremely judicious in setting forth the many facets of the debate, fa*ggioli is clear about where he stands. He argues that “Vatican II was a paradigmatic event of the new era in the history of the Catholic Church: not only for what happened at Vatican II but also for what happened after Vatican II as well” (139). fa*ggioli agrees with Karl Rahner's notion of the council as an “incipital” event, as the beginning of a new era of broad changes in the theological style of the Catholic Church. He disagrees with those who have argued for a hermeneutic of continuity that the council merely builds on the foundations of the Councils of Trent (1545–63) and Vatican I (1870).
