The Council "page of History" of an open book on the mystery of the Holy Trinity and on the Church Body of Christ which "gathers, transfigures and nourishes the world"

Article summary proposed by the Contacts review with LLM assistance
This article examines the theological significance of the Second Vatican Council in light of Trinitarian revelation and the ecclesiology of the Body of Christ. Adopting a speculative and synthetic approach, Michelina Tenace offers a reading of the Council as an event inscribed within the history of salvation, transcending its merely institutional or historical dimension. The central idea is that the Council constitutes a "page" of a divine book that remains ever open, whose internal logic can only be fully grasped by reference to the mystery of the Trinity and to the vocation of the Church to gather, transfigure, and nourish the world. On the theological level, the article provides a rereading of the conciliar event that articulates ecclesial unity, historical tension, and eschatological finality, thereby offering an interpretive framework capable of moving beyond purely circumstantial or polemical readings of the Council.
