In fact, the councils are often positioned as mutually exclusive so that one must choose \u003ci\u003eeither\u003c\/i\u003e Vatican I's \u003ci\u003eor\u003c\/i\u003e Vatican II's presentations of church and ecclesial authority. Failing to understand the relationship between these councils inhibits the church's self-understanding and risks misinterpreting key aspects of its own tradition; further, it limits the church's ability to teach effectively on topics of concern to modern women and men, such as authority, freedom, and ecclesiology. \u003ci\u003eVatican I and Vatican II: Councils in the Living Tradition\u003c\/i\u003e uses the questions of \u003ci\u003ewhat\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e why\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003ehow\u003c\/i\u003e the councils taught to frame and demonstrate significant points of continuity, complementarity, and difference between them.
