Reception of Vatican II in Asia
View through CrossRef
Abstract
Asian churches enthusiastically received Vatican II in all areas of their life. However, in certain areas, the reception of the council is more evident, including ecclesiology; dialogue with religions, cultures, and the poor; renewal of the Eastern churches; greater participation of the laity; and a renewed understanding of mission. Immediately after the council, Asian churches initiated a process of serious study and assimilation of its teaching. The Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conferences (FABC) played a vital role in the reception of the council in Asia. The theology of the ‘local churches’ and the triple dialogue that the FABC underlines is key to understanding the Asian reception of Vatican II. The council’s Decree on the Catholic Churches of the Eastern Rite, Orientalium Ecclesiarum, also had a special influence on Asia.
