The sixtieth anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council on October 11, 1962 could not have passed by without occasioning a plethora of commemorative articles. This anthology brings together assessments of the Council’s legacy by some of the finest conservative and traditionalist Catholic writers of our times. Reflecting the intense disagreements sparked by this earthshaking event, these essays and articles challenge the reader to reconsider, from various perspectives, the dense historical reality, tempestuous aftermath, present prospects, and future fate of the twenty-first ecumenical council of the Catholic Church.
