SACROSANCTUM CONCILIUM FROM DIFFERENT PASTORAL PERSPECTIVES
Keywords:
SACROSANCTUM CONCILIUM, PASTORAL PERSPECTIVESAbstract
As we are celebrating, this year, the beginning of the golden jubilee
of the second Vatican Council, we commemorate the 50th year of the
approval and the promulgation of Sacrosanctum concilium (SC). At
this moment re-studying or looking back once again this document is
indeed not only refreshing, i.e., re-evangelizing our mind with the
pastoral feeling of the Church, but also new-visioning the same with
the new pastoral orientation.
