Abstract

On October 11 the Second Vatican Council will begin its first two-month session. A second session will follow in the spring, and possibly a third and a fourth. Everyone agrees on the importance of this assembly but on little else. In the words of one French Roman Catholic journal, "Opinion is divided between smug optimism and bitter, if not acid, pessimism, or at least skepticism."
