Webinars with Resources for Vatican II

Three timely webinar series on Vatican II, our understanding of it, and our ongoing mission.

Vatican II and Our Mission: Leavening Humankind

This collaborated series was created by Fr. Bob (Bernard) Bonnot, former Chairman of AUSCP Chairman, together with Dr. Joseph Torma, retired Chair of the Pastoral Theology Department of Walsh University in the Diocese of Youngstown. Dr. Torma spent 8 years in a seminary but then earned an M.A. in theology with an emphasis on Gaudium et Spes at the University of Detroit followed with his PhD in theology at the University of Ottawa, Canada. He unfolded 50-years as a professor, 37 of them at Walsh University in Canton, Ohio.

Vatican II generated 16 documents and AUSCP generated a complete series of webinars for each of the 16 Vatican II documents, some with just one episode, others several. A single final/summarizing webinar was given to complete the full project.

ReGrasping Vatican II with Sr. Maureen

This is a six-part series undertaken by AUSCP in collaboration with FutureChurch. Five of the six webinars will be presented by Sr. Maureen Sullivan, Dominican Sister of Hope (NY), Ph.D, now Professor Emerita of Theology after 32 years at St. Anselm College in New Hampshire. Sr. Maureen earned her doctorate from Fordham University and served there for four years as Academic Dean for Freshmen and Academic Dean of the College; she has written two books on Vatican II published by Paulist Press – 101 Questions and Answers on Vatican II and The Road to Vatican II: Key Changes in Theology. Sr. Maureen combines the wisdom of a scholar with pastoral outreach and strives to raise peoples’ awareness of the positive impact of Vatican II in the Church today.

Conversations on the Council

This is a three-part series titled Conversations on the Council, sponsored by the AUSCP Vatican II Working Group. These conversations will focus on each of three issues drawn from the documents of Vatican II: People of God, Church in the Present World, and Religious Liberty. We see these three issues as relevant to the Church and society at this time.
