description: The sixteen official documentsconstitutions decrees and declarationsof the Second Vatican Council are now available from Liturgical Press in the most popular and widely used inclusive-language edition translated by Irish Dominican Austin Flannery (October 21 2008).As the worldwide Church continues to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the Council (196265) there is a great need in college classrooms and parish faith formation groupsas well as for individualsto again have access to these documents in contemporary English. As Flannery wrote in his introduction to the 1996 edition The translation of the texts of the Vatican documents in the present volume differs from that in the previous publication in two respects. It has been very considerably revised and in place corrected. It is also to a very large extent in inclusive language.I say to a very large extent because we have used inclusive language in passages about men and women but not however in passages about God except where the use of the masculine pronoun was easily avoidable.
