A Vatican II bishop reflects on the council's legacy :no rupture in doctrine


There is no rupture in the documents of the Second Vatican Council II(2:13) with previous Councils and previous teachings of the Church it is the very same teachings of the Church.All one has to do is look at the documents of Vatican Council II and look at the footnotes and there's constant reference to the various ecumenical Councils of the Church and espcially to the Council of Trent and the First Vatican Council and also a lot of reference to the Fathers of the Church.So it is a continuity.-Bishop William J. McNaughton, who attended all four sessions of Vatican II, reflects on the council's impact then and now.(CNS video)
