Church in Crisis (Part 16): Second Vatican Council w/ Dr. Alan Fimister

About this sermon

The Second Vatican Council (1962–1965) remains one of the most influential—and controversial—events in modern Church history. In this final installment of the Councils of the Church series, Dr. James B. Fimister examines the historical background, theological debates, and lasting consequences of Vatican II. Beginning with the unfinished work of Vatican I and the rise of ultramontanism, this lecture explores the pontificates of Pius IX, Leo XIII, St. Pius X, and Pope John XXIII before examining the Council itself. Dr. Fimister discusses the preparatory schemas, the Rhine Group, the drafting of the Council documents, papal authority, liturgical reform, modernism, religious liberty, and the implementation of Vatican II. Whether you're studying Church history, theology, or the current crisis in the Church, this lecture provides essential historical context rooted in the Catholic tradition.
