On Wednesday, January 5, 2022, host Dcn. Mike Beauvais invited RED-C's Director of Education and Development, Dr. Thaddeus Romansky, to delve into the Second Vatican Council. The sixtieth anniversary of the council's opening is in 2022. They first assessed the historical context that led to the council. A guiding principle of their conversation was that the documents produced by the council are the council. Therefore, they gave brief overviews of its four constitutions: Sacrosanctum Concilium, Lumen Gentium, Dei Verbum, and Gaudium et Spes. Today’s episode is the first of many steps that our RED-C Apostolate will take this year to increase our listeners' understanding of the Second Vatican Council.
If you would like to read the constitutions for yourself, we highly recommend The Word on Fire Vatican II Collection, which can be purchased here: https://bookstore.wordonfire.org/products/vaticanii or you can read them at the Vatican website. Stay tuned to RED-C Radio and to our Facebook page for announcement of our Lenten book study on the documents of Vatican II and register to participate.
Remember, when choosing between the values of Heaven and the values of Earth, always Roundup!
