In this video I am joined by returning guest Dr. Shaun Blanchard to peak of the relationship between Pistoia and Vatican II when it comes to liturgical reform. We speak of the specific reforms, their context, logic or lack thereof, and their relationship to the Church in the 20th century.

Dr. Shaun Blanchard is Lecturer in Theology at the University of Notre Dame Australia on the Fremantle campus (Western Australia). A North Carolina native and graduate of UNC, Oxford (Blackfriars Hall), and Marquette, Shaun writes on a variety of topics in early modern and modern Catholicism. He is the author of The Synod of Pistoia and Vatican II (OUP: 2020) and, with Ulrich Lehner, co-edited The Catholic Enlightenment: A Global Anthology (CUA: 2021). With Stephen Bullivant, Shaun co-wrote Vatican II: A Very Short Introduction (OUP: 2023). With Richard T. Yoder, Shaun co-edited Jansenism: An International Anthology (forthcoming, CUA: 2024). In his free time, Shaun likes to watch college football and basketball and travel. He lives in Fremantle with his wife Ann-Marie, and loves cats, fried chicken sandwiches, and English beer. Shaun’s devotion to the University of North Carolina’s football team has taught him more about eschatological hope than any of his theological studies.
