Second Vatican Council Lecture Series

The Second Vatican council was one of the most important

events of the 20^th century.  More than 3000 Bishops, theologians,

and observers met at the Vatican between October 1962

and December 1965.  The 16 documents promulgated

Year of Faith - , a time to return to  the documents of the council
