Vatican II: The Church's Adaptation to Modern World Challenges

Chapter 21 delves into the impact of Vatican II on the Church in the 20th century, notably under Blessed John XXIII's leadership. This period witnessed significant changes in societal attitudes toward marriage and sexuality, reflecting a broader secularization. John XXIII, who championed interfaith dialogue and social justice, abolished the cardinal limit and advocated for peaceful coexistence. Key initiatives included a diocesan synod in Rome, the drafting of a new Code of Canon Law, and an ecumenical council aiming for Church unity and social responsibility.
