Vatican II: The Real History
From 1962 to 1965, the Catholic Church experienced a revolutionary period known as the Second Vatican Council (Vatican II). Pope John XXIII famously sought to “open the windows” of the Church to allow fresh air in. However, in the aftermath of the Council, many Catholics have been left wondering whether the Church and faith have fundamentally changed into something else.
The podcast "Vatican II: The Real History" aims to address these important questions clearly and objectively, with a strong emphasis on the historical context leading up to the Council.
Covering events from the 1789 French Revolution to the conclusion of Vatican II in 1965, the podcast provides a detailed narrative that encompasses the politics, theology, philosophy, and intrigue involved in the formation and conduct of the Council.
This podcast will differ from typical religious-oriented shows. Listeners will be taken beyond the conventional perspectives that many in modern hierarchy would prefer to present about Vatican II, while still respectfully honoring the timeless traditions and teachings of the Catholic Church.
