Summary/Abstract: The article is the last part of a greater research project whose subject it is to look at the ecclesiology of the Second Vatican Council. Carrying it out is occasioned by the fiftieth anniversary of the recent Ecumenical Council (1962-1965), and especially by the anniversary of the publication of the Pastoral Constitution Gaudium et spes. The third part of the triptych shows the importance of the Constitution for the identity and mission of the post-conciliar Church. Analysis of the reception of Vatican II allows grasping the significance of the breakthrough that has happened in those – important for the further history of the Church – events.
