Summary

The Debate about the meaning of Vatican II, argues Massimo Faggioli, too often misses the profound significance of that council's first and most consequential document, Sacrosanctum Concilium. The result is a misunderstanding of both the council as a whole and the liturgical reform that followed from it.
