Zusammenfassung:The Second Vatican Council has a special significance in Latin America. This is especially true due to the influence of the document Gaudium et Spes (The Church in the Modern World). This took place at the Medellín Conference (1968) when Bishop Marcus Gregorio McGrath, C.S.C., pointed to this influence through his keynote address “The Signs of the Times.” He was prepared for this moment through his earlier theological training in Europe and his pastoral missions, especially in Chile and Panama. It was his earlier practice of Catholic Action among young lay persons that led him into the “bridge theology” that was to be promoted further by Pope Francis.
