Sixth Catholic History and Heritage Presentation: Vatican II and its turbulent wake

The full title and subtitle of this presentation was:

Vatican II and its turbulent wake: Reform and Resourcement; controversy and conflict
Who would have guessed what would blow in that open window?
Vatican II: fruit of the Spirit or spawn of Satan?  And . . . who cares?

A rather provocative title, I guess.  Then again, we live in provocative times!  Listen to the whole presentation online (my apologies for taking so long to get it posted):



Don't forget you can toggle between part 1 and part 2 with the two little triangles facing the lines right and left. 

As usual, if the embedded player doesn't work for you, you can download the original MP3 files at:

http://www.archive.org/details/CatholicHeitagePresentation6  (Uhm . . . yeah, there's a typo in the address, but it's too much of a hassle to try to change it on that site.)

And, of course, you can view and download the text of the notes, in PDF format, here. (This week I was not able to put any links for further information into the notes, but you can find a lot just by searching Google or Wikipedia with the obvious keywords.)

The reason why I was late in getting this online is that on Wednesday morning I received the 2011 price quotes from our Istanbul tour agency for the Early Christian World Pilgrimage, Orion-Tour, and have spent most of my spare time of the last few days putting together the initial publicity for the Pilgrimage in the form of a bulletin insert/letter for this weekend.  You can see that letter here, and you will be able to keep up to date on the Pilgrimage news and itinerary at my Pilgrimage blogsite, http://ecwpilgrimage.org.

If you are looking for the past presentations, scroll through the list or past blogpost titles on the sidebar to the right, and you'll find them.
