    Excellent 5.00 out of 5

    By: Tommy the Student (Saint Louis, MO, November 13, 2008)
    Best Uses: Education;
    Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
    I use the product for furthering my knowledge on the Church and her great wisdom. It is probably the most quoted document from Vatican II, and thus is quite important for Catholics to be familiar with it.

    Mindblowing 5.00 out of 5

    Describe Yourself: Everyday Reader;
    Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
    I had no idea how good this was, truly guided by the Holy Spirit! It shows the vision of Vatican II. This is good for "modern Catholics, to review fundamental unchanging teachings (and see prophecy in action in papal documents--see Humanae Vitae also for this). This is also good for "traditional" Catholics who are suspicious of VaticanII reforms, to see what the Council actually wrote. As a young person (in my 20s), this was a breath of fresh air. Reading the documents of the Church and seeing the truth in them really confirms the truth of our faith, especially in the face of a disobedient, individualistic culture.
