description: The Second Vatican Council was as much a response to the crises of the 20th-century as it was to the internal need for reform in the Church. The need to find a Christian philosophy for a disordered and dying bourgeois age by men like Emmanuel Mounier and Jacques Maritain laid the basis for the Council's response and the new call for evangelization of modern society.
