Historians tell us that the genuine interpretation of an Ecumenical Council's teaching usually at least takes sixty years to settle. That means we are now at the point of serenely and sanely understanding the authentic magisterium of Vatican Council II. And count on George Weigel to provide an attractive and compelling synthesis of it. --His Eminence Timothy Cardinal Dolan In explaining why Vatican II was necessary and what it taught, George Weigel has given us a rich history of the Catholic Church's efforts to meet the challenges of modernity. Viewed in their intellectual, social and political context, the personalities, debates, and documents of that momentous event emerge with new clarity in this remarkable work. Meticulously documented, yet eminently readable, To Sanctify the World is a matchless guide to the meaning and import of the Second Vatican Council. --Mary Ann Glendon, author of A World Made New and The Forum and the Tower
