From lofty ideals to the complex realities of the Catholic Church's commitment to justice and peace-building since Vatican II.

Trade Review
"This collection of original essays offers a unique perspective on the legacy of the Second Vatican Council in light of the trajectory of the Church's social teaching since its first 'social encyclical,' Rerum Novarum (1891) by Pope Leo XIII, and as it has unfolded refreshingly in the many initiatives of the Catholic Church in Canada." Mary Jo Iozzio, Boston College
"Most books on the reception of Vatican II focus on the actual documents of the council and the ongoing effort to implement their teaching. Assessments of the implementation of the council's teaching on social justice are rarer, although they can be found (see The Church in the Modern World: Fifty Years after Gaudium et Spes, ed. by Erin Brigham, 2015). ... this book will prove valuable to scholars of social justice."
