VATICAN CITY, March 24, 2017 / (ACI Press ) .-
1550 pages may seem like a lot, but the volume of the Libreria Editrice Vaticana “Documents. (1966-2013)”, edited by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which is the Italian edition of Documenta inde in the Second Vatican Council published expleto (1966 -2005), it is a small treasure.
Compared to the Latin version of the text it has been updated with the addition of fourteen new documents, so as to include also the significant pronouncements of the years 1966-2013. The collection, says Cardinal Müller offers secure doctrinal answers to several important issues for the life and mission of the Church. It is a useful tool for the theologians who must respond adequately to ever new issues; It is a service to the faith, the safeguard of errors and ambiguities that obscure or alter the essential points of its assets. The book is a useful support tool for pastors, theologians, researchers, students and the faithful who wish to deal with particular aspects of the Catholic religion.
The original preface of 2006, Cardinal Levada, the first successor to the Congregation after Joseph Ratzinger became Pope.
“Faced with new issues and proposals teologiche- law- must not only pay attention to all the issues involved, but also provide useful information to overcome difficulties in deepening and proclamation of God’s truth.”
For his part, Cardinal Müller who succeeded him as prefect, wrote in 2013 that “the collection offers secure doctrinal answers to several important issues for the life and mission of the Church”.
A book not only for specialists, but also for those who want to learn more about specific topics, family, politics, Freemasonry, bioethics, the illegitimate ordinations, until the issue of sexual abuse, with acts and decisions that have marked the history of the Church in modern times. A source to know the facts and do not be confused by certain securities effect.
