Un feu sur la terre Book

This is an excellent book. The author was not out to make friends in writing it, apparently. He covers all the philosphical and theological problems in the Church in the Vatican II era. It's exceptionally clear and simple, devout and charitable, but not pretty: he lines up and knocks down a complete list of heresies, with special attention to those of Teilhard de Chardin. Mind you, I'm not sure that anyone takes him de Chardin seriously anymore, which might be a shortcoming of this book: it was written in the sixties, and could be a bit dated. Anyway, I would recommend it for thinking laymen.
