Summary In 1962, a group of Catholic leaders travelled to Rome, charged by Pope John XXIII with the task of making the gospel of Christ relevant in a modern world. The Second Vatican Council transformed the lives of Catholics through sweeping reforms--and yet its effect on the daily lives of practicing Catholics has never been fully understood. In The spirit of Vatican II, renowned religious historian Colleen McDannell reveals the social history of Vatican II and its transformation of the lives of American Catholics.
