Participación y recepción del Vaticano II en un Padre conciliar: la figura del Obispo Manuel Larraín Errázuriz

Abstract

Manuel Larraín Errázuriz, Bishop of Talca between 1938 and 1966 was an international figure. In Chile, between 1952 and 1962 he was the National Advisor of the Catholic Action and on a continental level he was elected as first vice president of the Latin American Episcopal Council (CELAM) and was its president between 1964 and 1966. His participation in the Second Vatican Council was profound. This paper reviews his participation in the Council and the "reception" of this ecclesial event in his writings and pastoral initiatives in the Diocese of Talca.
