This new annotated edition includes a foreword by Helen Alvaré, providing historical context and pointing out several ways Paul VI has been proven prophetic in his teaching. Notes provided by Sr. Marianne Lorraine Trouvé, FSP, give brief explanations at points where contention and misunderstanding have been present regarding the document's meaning.
