the meaning of aggiornamento

Aggiornamento does not mean assimilating oneself to the atheistic Enlightenment (to the point of declaring the autonomy of human conscience); instead, it means being abreast of the times in order to give that Enlightenment an authentic response.
Hans Urs von Balthasar, Short Primer for Unsettled Laymen, p 127
