Second Vatican Council (Vatican II)

The Second Vatican Council - Vatican II   The Second Vatican Council was the 21st Ecumenical Council of the Catholic Church, announced by Pope John XXIII in January 1959.  After several years of planning, the Council was formally convoked in September 1962.  For the next three years, over 2,000 bishops and theological advisors met in Rome each September through December, returning home to care for their flocks while committee members continued to hammer away on drafts of the sixteen documents ultimately promulgated by the Council.  Pope John XXIII died after the first session and was succeeded by Pope Paul VI who solemnly closed the council in December 1965.   Vatican II: The Real Story By: Dr. Marcellino D'Ambrosio   Some in the Catholic Church love Vatican II because they think it finally brought the Catholic Church out of the dark ages.  Some suspect the Second Vatican Council because they fear it sold out faithfulness to the truth in favor of current opinion.   Entertaining.  Fascinating.  Energizing.  When you’re done with these tapes, you’ll have a clearer picture of where the Catholic Church has come from and where it is going in the first years of the new millennium.            2 CD Set - $14.95
