Second Vatican Council
American Catholics raised in the years after the Second Vatican Council of 1962-65, church teaching has usually mixed orthodoxy with contemporary notions about the value of dialogue, self-exploration, and the full-fledged participation of women in society. Like other critics, Mr. Kunz said the changes seemed to reflect a growing impatience among church leaders with a generation raised on a collaborative and humanistic approach to church teaching favored after the Second Vatican Council.
