Reclaiming Vatican II (Study Guide for Individual and Group Use)

On October 11, 1962, Pope John XXIII declared the Second Vatican Council to be open. Since then, the council has fluctuated between being praised and derided for its purported embrace of modernity and rupture with tradition. In his book Reclaiming Vatican II, Fr. Blake Britton dispels the myths and demonstrates how the council creates a fuller experience of being in the Church when properly understood and used.

This study guide is meant for solitary readers, small groups, or a year-long parish-wide study. It was created in response to numerous requests for study resources to go along with the book. It will enable you to go further into what was actually said and what actually transpired during Vatican II and get past the division surrounding the council.

The study guide includes an overview of each chapter of the book, essential words, discussion questions, prompts for introspection, and a diary prompt titled "What can I do?"
