What was Vatican II for the Church? What process of aggiornamento and of renewal were really promoted with the celebration and reception of the Council? What did it represent for the path to the visible unity of Christians? Fifty years after its opening what still needs to be done to promote the knowledge of the promulgated documents? For Christianity in Asia, does Vatican II represent a privileged source for opening dialogue between religions? These are some of the many questions that were posed by the organizers of the international congress “Revisiting Vatican II: 50 Years of Renewal”, held at Bangalore from January 31 to February 3, 2013 (p. 117-124).
