Vatican I and Vatican II are often positioned as mutually exclusive. Their too-frequent juxtaposition under competing interpretive hermeneutics inhibits greater ecclesial self-understanding, and it limits the church's ability to teach effectively on topics of concern to modern women and men, such as authority, freedom, and ecclesiology. This volume uses the questions of what, why, and how the councils taught in order to frame and demonstrate significant points of continuity, complementarity, and difference between them. It argues that only by seeing both Vatican I and Vatican II as communicating vital dimensions of the Christian faith can the church's living tradition be fully appreciated and speak meaningfully to modern audience.
