Religion / catholic theology
Italian term or phrase: pastoralità
in this case, according to the second Vatican council - "il principio di pastoralità di Vaticano II". I was toying with the idea of priesthood. Would that work, what do you think? - I've been trying to read up on the second Vatican council, but of course the source texts are immense, and all I'm actually doing is translating an abstract of a doctoral thesis, and the word only appears once... but in the title.

  -> Thanks Phil

agree  Rosanna Palermo: literally it would be "shepherding" so this fits quite well. Leadership, guidance are weaker alternatives. This refers to the "Good Shepard" metaphor
