The sixteen official documents constitutions, decrees, and declarations of the Second Vatican Council are now available from Liturgical Press in the most popular and widely used inclusive-language edition translated by Irish Dominican Austin Flannery (+October 21, 2008).
As the worldwide Church continues to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the Council (1962 65), there is a great need in college classrooms and parish faith formation groups as well as for individuals to again have access to these documents in contemporary English. As Flannery wrote in his introduction to the 1996 edition, The translation of the texts of the Vatican documents in the present volume differs from that in the previous publication in two respects. It has been very considerably revised and, in place, corrected. It is also, to a very large extent, in inclusive language. I say to a very large extent, because we have used inclusive language in passages about men and women but not, however, in passages about God, except where the use of the masculine pronoun was easily avoidable.
