"Aggiornamento" and the American Catholic Bishops: A Rhetoric of Institutional Continuity and Change.
Jablonski, Carol J.
Quarterly Journal of Speech, v75 n4 p416-32 Nov 1989
Analyzes 140 pastoral letters issued by the American Catholic bishops before, during, and after Vatican II (1947 through 1981). Suggests that doctrinal rhetoric has a tremendous capacity to endure accelerated social and institutional change, and that the rhetorical impact of Vatican II was quickly institutionalized in the public communications of American bishops.
