...success or failure of Vatican II cannot be judged merely by the bulk of written documents. More important is the spirit that brought the council together and inspired its discussions. The most apparent impact of those discussions was the bishops' self-discovery of their common responsibility for the church as a whole. By working together, says Dr. John K. S.

Those who wish to change public opinion should attempt to prevent it from polarizing sharply on the war issue, for that would almost certainly see the bulk of the population rushing to the defense of Flag and Country. Marches and large demonstrations almost always aggravate division of opinion...
