Enrico C. Eusebio, Jr., S.J. (“The Restoration of the Catechumenate: Some Voices from the Peripheries in the Redaction of Ad Gentes 14”) retraces the evolution of the Second Vatican Council’s decree that restored the catechumenate and the discussions that took place at various stages in its drafting. He notes that its restoration was necessitated by the missionary thrust of the Church in Ad Gentes. – from the Editor’s Preface
