Hermeneutics of the Second Vatican Council

The Hermeneutics of the Second Vatican Council, or the Hermeneutics of Vatican II, refers to the different interpretations of the Second Vatican Council given by theologians and historians in relation to the Roman Catholic Church in the period following the Council. The two leading interpretations are the "hermeneutic of continuity" (or "hermeneutic of the reform") and the contrasting "hermeneutic of rupture" (or "hermeneutic of discontinuity"), with some proposing a "third hermeneutic" along the lines of John W. O'Malley.
