The Revolution of John XXIII

55 Minutes

When he opened the historic Second Vatican Council in 1962, the "Good Pope" launched a spiritual revolution in the Church and the world.  He summoned the bishops of the world to engage in straightforward discussions about the direction and future of the Church, and the relationship of the Church to the modern world.  Few events in the history of the modern Catholic Church have been as far-reaching as the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965).  And few have been as controversial.
