About this sermon
Pope Francis celebrated a special Mass at Saint Peter's Basilica Tuesday afternoon on the anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council. The council was convoked by Saint John XXIII on January 25th, 1959. The first session of the council was interrupted by the death of Saint John XXIII on June 3rd, 1963. The other 3 sessions were convoked and presided over by his successor, Pope Saint Paul VI, until December 1965. The Catholic bishops discussed matters such as the life of the Church and its openness to the requests of the modern and contemporary world. At the end of the council the Vatican promulgated 4 constitutions, 3 declarations and 9 decrees. EWTN Vatican Bureau Chief, Andreas Thonhauser, joins us with more about this crucial event in Church history. EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
