For xxxxxxxx, the Second Vatican Council is the fons et origo of the Church of today and of the future. The Fathers adopted a new paradigm, that of a Church which has always been Catholic, but which has become global, freed from its coincidence with Europe. This had various consequences, such as the introduction of local languages into the liturgy and the legitimization of local theologies. The adjective "worldwide" is used to describe the Church, with an ambiguity similar to that of the adjective "ecumenical" to describe the Second Vatican Council, which was ecumenical because it was general and/or because it led to the triumph of rapprochement with the "separated brethren".
