Summary
Bishops were not the only actors at the Council. This chapter introduces the role of the theological experts – with special attention to Philips, Congar, Rahner, Ratzinger, Küng, and Schillebeeckx – observers from other churches and ecclesial communities, male and female lay and religious auditors, and the press.
