Abstract

This paper presents an analytical framework aspects of Vatican II and its impact to the Pope Francisco election in 2013. The goal is to provide a study of the conciliar ecclesiology and ecclesiology inherited by Francisco. The text search through sources elucidate a basic issue for the development of this pontificate: today’s ecclesiology is the offshoot of the Vatican or the route has obstacles to its implementation? The Catholic institutional crisis needs urgent reform as a constancy in the thought of Francis?
