We are offering a free one-page leaflet to mark the start of 2012, which is the fiftieth anniversary of the opening of the Council. The leaflet is especially designed for those who are too young to have lived through the Council. We hope it will help rekindle the hope and promise felt by those who did live during the times of Vatican II.  50th Anniversary Flyer

The world-wide Church already has the majority of its members living in the Southern Hemisphere. Therefore the Church of the new century will be a Third World Church, which means a Church of the poor and non-powerful, non-clericalist, de-centralised, expressing itself in less legislation and organisation.

"We lived through the earthquake, churchquake of the Second Vatican Council, and the years that followed. We were inspired, liberated, shaped by that experience, in our Catholic faith, in our priesthood, in our vision and hope for the Church".

Giovanni Franzoni, a former Benedictine abbot, Catholic theologian, and eyewitness to Vatican II, offered these reflections at the 31st Congress of the Asociación de Teólogos y Teólogas Juan XXIII in Madrid earlier this month.

I thank you, not only for the invitation, but mainly because, despite the difficulties, and although times are not propitious, you continue to courageously hold high the flame of Vatican II, and you continue to hold tenaciously to the need for an evangelical reform of the Roman Catholic Church.
