| Summary: | In Vatican II, Wilde re-examines the Second Vatican Council, which, she writes, became “the most significant example of institutionalized religious change since the Reformation” (2). Her data include an analysis of the vote tallies saved in the Vatican Secret Archive and a systematic comparative analysis of six major archive collections that include formal minutes from meetings of various groups of bishops, personal correspondences, episcopal petitions, and so on. Also important to her analysis were the 89 interviews Rocco Caporale conducted during the first two sessions with the most important of the 2,300 or so attending bishops, cardinals, and observers. |
