Abstract
The contribution of the Second Vatican Council becomes evident in the ecclesiastic change that gave rise to the work by the Church in Latin America and the Caribbean. The starting point was the reality of church communities that have gone through the processes of the Church as the people of God, the Church of the poor, and the Church of communion and participation in the daily life of its members. An heir to the Council through Liberation Theology, the Church in Latin America does not only express itself in the documents by the four episcopal conferences carried out so far after the Second Vatican Council (Medellín, Puebla, Santo Domingo and Aparecida), but in the testimony of Christians, active agents in the life of the Church.
