About this sermon
Today marks 60 years since the opening of Vatican II. It is a council with a mixed legacy but of great significance in Church history. Vatican II was a council carried on by saints. Saint John XXIII called for it and Saint Paul VI continued it. Blessed John Paul I and Saint John Paul II took part in it. The Second Vatican Council started even though the first never quite finished. However, Saint John XXIII felt a great call to bring all the bishops of the world together to address what historian, theologian and EWTN News Executive Editor, Matthew Bunson, describes as massive changes that had taken place. "The shattering changes that [took] place because of the two world wars, & the Great Depression. You had as well, the immense changes in society, technology, communications... So the fundamental question that he wanted to address was: how is it possible for the Church to communicate to the modern world the unchanging truths of the faith, but in a way that the modern world could understand, that it could actually take to its heart and to mind?" EWTN News Contributor, Catherine Hadro reports. EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
