“The [Second Vatican] Council brought us to see that the church consists of all who are baptized,” wrote Father Richard McBrien recently in his syndicated column. McBrien noted that those born after 1955 have no memory of the pre-Vatican II church. McBrien recalled that the 1985 world synod of bishops, convened by Pope John Paul II, called the council an unmistakable work of the Holy Spirit. He quoted John Paul II’s Tertio Millenio Adveniente as saying “the best preparation for the new millennium” is “a renewed commitment to apply, as faithfully as possible, the teachings of Vatican II to the life of every individual and of the whole church.”
