A leading Catholic intellectual explains why the teachings of the Second Vatican Council are essential to the Church's futureand the world's
The Second Vatican Council (19621965) was the most important Catholic event in the past five hundred years. Yet sixty years after its opening on October 11, 1962, its meaning remains sharply contested and its promise unfulfilled.
In To Sanctify the World, George Weigel explains the necessity of Vatican II and explores the continuing relevance of its teaching in a world seeking a deeper experience of freedom than personal willfulness. The Councils texts are also a critical resource for the Catholic Church as it lives out its original, Christ-centered evangelical purpose.
Written with insight and verve, To Sanctify the World recovers the true meaning of Vatican II as the template for a Catholicism that can propose a path toward genuine human dignity and social solidarity.

TO SANCTIFY THE WORLD
Anyone interested in a bold yet authentic interpretation of Vatican II should read this book, in which George Weigel persuasively demonstrates that the Councilthe Holy Spirits greatest gift to Catholicism in the twentieth centurywas not so much about reinventing and modernizing the Church as Christifying and converting the world.
Robert Barron, Bishop of Winona-Rochester and founder, Word on Fire Catholic Ministries
All of Weigels best qualities are displayed herepenetrating intelligence, erudition, clarity, breadth of vision, remarkable range of insiders knowledge. I doubt that Vatican IIstill bitterly contested in some quarters sixty years after the eventwill ever be more interestingly or more accurately understood than in this deeply moving book.
Lance Morrow, author of God and Mammon
In a time of widespread Christological amnesia and even denial, Weigels new book offers a bracing remedy. He provides a magisterial recovery of the Christological vision and commitment that permeate the documents of the Second Vatican Council and that illuminate the Churchs way forward. It is the way toward the sanctification of the world through living and sharing faith in Jesus Christ, who is the true joy of the Gospel.

T HE S ECOND E CUMENICAL C OUNCIL OF THE V ATICAN Vatican II, in the familiar shorthandwas the most important event in the history of Catholicism since the Council of Trent responded to the various Protestant Reformations of the sixteenth century. The world shook the Catholic Church severely in the next four hundred years: the various European Enlightenments, the French Revolution, the nineteenth-century assault on the papacy and the Church by secular powers, three totalitarianisms, two world wars, the Cold War, and decolonization all had profound effects. Yet viewed from inside the household of faith, no Catholic event since the Council of Trent had so dramatic an impact on world Catholicism as the Second Vatican Council.
And virtually none has been so contentious.
Sixty years after it solemnly opened on October 11, 1962, the meaning of Vatican II remained controverted, and sometimes bitterly controverted, throughout the world Church. Some contemporary Catholic voicesno longer limited to the disaffected elderly but now including deeply committed young Catholicsclaim that the Council was a fatal concession to the modern world that should be repudiated or quietly buried. Much of the German-speaking Catholic world seems to think that the spirit of Vatican II was an invitation to reinvent Catholicism as another liberal Protestant denomination. In Germany and elsewhere, prominent Catholic academics regard the Council as an unfortunate compromise that failed to achieve its great promise. In contrast, the new and vibrant local churches of sub-Saharan Africa consider Vatican II a great blessing, the Magna Carta for their tremendous growth.
