Abstract
PICCARDO, Diego Rafael. Brief History of the last fifty years of the Catholic Church (1964-2014). Rev Cien Cult [online]. 2014, vol.18, n.32, pp.9-63. ISSN 2077-3323.
The encompassed period of time can be described as the "End and enforcement of the Second Vatican Council". The article looks to deepen in what I believe the most visible and evaluable processes, that result from the guidelines favored by the Second Vatican Council: the proclamation of the universal call to sanctity and its reach to the Christian People. At the same time, it can be recognized that in these years the Church has given great steps in aspects such as the collegiality of bishops, the woman dignity, the concern about justice, ecumenism, the liturgic reform, etc. Following this line, the article does not pass over the shadows from the period, which form the contrast over the whole scope in which human intervention is given.
Keywords : History of the Catholic Church; Holiness; Second Vatican Council.
