conclusion:
On the 50th anniversary of the beginning of Vatican II, in Oct. 2011, Pope Benedict XVI declared the period from Oct. 2012 to the Solemnity of Christ the King at the end of Nov. 2013 a Year of Faith:
“...a good opportunity to help people understand that the texts bequeathed by the Council Fathers, in the words of John Paul II, 'have lost nothing of their value or brilliance. They need to be read correctly, to be widely known and taken to heart as important and normative texts of the Magisterium, within the Church's Tradition. ... I feel more than ever in duty bound to point to the Council as the great grace bestowed on the Church in the 20th century: there we find a sure compass by which to take our bearings in the century now beginning.”
"You have been told, O man, what is required of you: only to do the right and to love goodness and to walk humbly with your God.”
