This course will analyse the erosion of the traditional bases of authority in Roman Catholicism since the Second Vatican Council in 1965 and the Papal Encyclical “Of Human Life” in 1967. Special consideration will be given to the change in attitude toward the central authorities of the church, especially the papacy, as a result of the emergence of the laity in church government, and the implementation of the principles of subsidiarity, collegiality, the supremacy of conscience and responsible disobedience, all of which arose in some way from the Second Vatican Council.
