Product Details
Sea Change: A Memoir of a Vatican II Priest is written by Father John Forliti of Minnesota. Having grown up during the stable and highly structured Catholic Church of the 1950’s, Father Forliti faced dramatic changes shortly after his ordination as a Catholic priest in 1962. His six decades of ministry have been primarily one of bridge-building, often as simple as both-and rather than either-or. In Sea Change, he describes the unsettling times his generation experienced after the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965). The Council’s new perspectives translated into dramatic changes in worship, customers, and spirituality. Sea Change shares intimately how this was not an easy adjustment. Scores of priests, nuns, and religious men and women left their communities, but Father Forliti stayed.
Sea Change accounts how Vatican II reversed centuries of ill will toward Protestants, Jews, and other world religions. Older generations who lived through this sea change will identify with the author’s experience of implementing the Council’s call to renewal. For younger generations who may wonder what happened at the Council, this Sea Change memoir provides a pathway to understand the changes it inspired. Sea Change is a paperback with 110 pages.
