The article presents, analyzes, and evaluates the contribution of Joseph A.Komonchak to the ongoing debate over the proper interpretation of VaticanII. The article is organized around three issues of the conciliar hermeneuticswhich Komonchak has addressed: (1) the responsibility of the council forthe collapse of pre-Vatican II Catholicism; (2) the continuity and discontinuityof Vatican II with the tradition of the church; and (3) the dynamicsbetween the «letter» and the «spirit» of the council. The author argues thatKomonchak's alternative middle position with regard to the hermeneuticsof the council is not constructed on the theological data alone, but is also aresult of his engagement with the social sciences.
