The Second Vatican
Council
"I want to throw open the windows of the Church
so that we can see out and the people can see in." Pope John XXIII

The
Second Vatican Council, or Vatican II, was an ecclesial, theological, and ecumenical
congress convened in the autumns of the four years from 1962 through 1965.
Pope John XXIII convoked the Council on October 11, 1962, and with bishops
from all over the world, sought to define the nature, scope, and mission of the
Church. Of the 2,908 clergy entitled to attend the Council, 2,450 did so. The
Council closed December 8, 1965.
The
Council produced 16 documents some of which are described as the greatest expressions
of Catholic social teaching in church history.
Vatican
II marked a fundamental shift towards the modern Church. The decisions of the Council, especially those
regarding the liturgy, affected the lives of Catholics around the world. After
Vatican II the use of the vernacular language was permitted in the celebration
of the Mass and in 1970 the new Sacramentary and Novus Ordo (New Order of Mass) were established.
Increased participation by the laity distinguishes Catholic life after
the Second Vatican Council. Bible study groups, Marriage Encounter, social
action organizations, and the charismatic renewal movement are all fruits of the
Council. Vatican II made possible the
many post-conciliar official Church documents on Catholic social teaching.
While
the basic doctrines of the Church did not change with the Council, its influence
and documents created more profound changes for the Catholic Church than occurred
in the previous five hundred years. Since Pope John XXIII spoke of opening the windows of the Church
great and gradual changes have occurred.

Pope John XXIII
"The feelings of my smallness and my nothingness always kept
me good company."
Angelo Roncalli was elected Pope (John XXIII) on October
28, 1958. No one expected more than a transitional papacy from the 76- year- old
pontiff. On January 25, 1959, just a few months into his office, on the occasion
Questa Festiva he announced plans for an Ecumenical Council. He opened the Council
but saw it through only the first session. As much as the Second Vatican Council
is identified with this pope, John XXIII died June 3, 1963, before half of the
Council was over and any of the documents had been promulgated. John XXIII, one
of the most beloved popes in history, was beatified September 3, 2000.

Giovanni
Montini was elected Pope (Paul VI) June 21, 1963, the month of the death of John
XXIII. His predecessor had already enlisted
Paul VI during the initial preparations for Vatican II. The first years of this
popes papacy were spent guiding the Council to its final three sessions and bringing
Vatican II to a successful close. Paul VI promulgated the documents of the Council,
chief among them Dignitatis Humanae
and Gaudium et Spes.

Gaudium et
Spes is widely viewed as the Councils most influential document.
It was the first such document to acknowledge an awareness of the Churchs relation
to the secular world and modern culture. Pope Paul VI, with a vision beyond a
Western understanding of church social teachings, drove the creation of the document
when he opened the second session.
