Dr Paul Lentern presented our March ACI webinar on the topic “Catholics and the Bible” exploring the way in which the Council helped change attitudes to reading the Bible.
He drew on Leo XIV’s recent catechesis on Dei Verbum, the Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation, in which the pope reminds us that “the Word of God responds to our thirst for meaning, for the truth about our life”
