Abstract
Vincent J. McCauley, C.S.C., served as bishop of Fort Portal, Uganda, from 1961–72. His time spanned Vatican II and the period of the Council's implementation. McCauley was instrumental at Vatican II in coordinating the African bishops' comments on Ad Gentes. In Fort Portal he implemented the spirit and letter of the Council in creating a new diocesan structure; promoting many programs for the laity, especially women; and leading the Church's efforts in ecumenism through his leadership in the Uganda Joint Christian Council (UJCC). McCauley was a Vatican II bishop both in theory and action.
