	First Vatican Council
		The First Vatican Council, convened by Pope Pius IX in Rome, is reckoned by Roman Catholics to be the twentieth ecumenical church council.
		Vatican I sought to define authoritatively the church's doctrine concerning the faith and the church, especially in response to new challenges from secular philosophical and political movements and theological liberalism.
		The first session was held in St Peter's basilica on 8 December 1869 in the presence and under the presidency of the pope.

	Second Vatican Council
		The Second Vatican Council, or Vatican II, was an ecumenical council of the Catholic church opened under Pope John XXIII in 1962 and closed under Pope Paul VI in 1965.
		Prior to the council, the Catholic Church was often described as a rigidly hierarchical organization, with priests answering to bishops, bishops answering to archbishops or primates and on upward to the Pope at the apex.
		At Vatican II, the council fathers sought to return the role of a bishop to its origins as a direct successor of the original group of apostles.In addition, the role of the bishops grouped together, as the whole College of Bishops (as in the council), or in particular groups for specific places, was enhanced.

		In the first vote it stood 451 in favor, 88 opposed, and 62 conditionally in favor; at the last vote 433 were in favor of the promulgation, two opposing, 55 abstaining.

		Though the Council of Jerusalem (Acts 15 and Galatians 2) was the first Church Council, attended by the Apostles, the first Ecumenical (world-wide) Council was called by the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great with Pope Saint Sylvester I sitting on the Throne of Peter as the 33rd successor of Christ's appointed Apostle.
		This Council's main docket was the attempt to reunite with the Eastern Church, but it was only temporary and the schism grew wider after the solidification of the Dogmatic Filioque in which it was reaffirmed emphatically that the Holy Ghost proceeds from both the Father and the Son.
		The greatest and longest of all the major ecumenical councils was convened by Pope Paul III on December 13, 1545 in the mouintain village of Trent in northern Italy.

	Newman and the Second Vatican Council
		The first chapter of this constitution deals with the Church as a mystery, and it illustrates this mystery by a variety of biblical images: the Church as God's flock, as his vineyard, his field; the Church as the Body of Christ.
		The drama of the Second Vatican Council may be said to have been in large measure governed by the challenge of logical inference to the demands of historical development.
		What in effect the Council did was to open up the Church, to turn her eyes and desires outwards from a somewhat unhealthy introspection to the challenge and the needs of a world tremendously alive and in a phase of incalculable swift evolution.

	Reasons for the Second Vatican Council by Stephen Hand, Traditional Catholic Reflections & Reports, Stephen Hand Editor ... (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The new Mass, as the Council fathers envisioned it, was never intended to be an innovation, as the progressives would have liked, but as a sublime instance of resourcement, that is a returning to the sources of its substantial simplicity in keeping with the Church's oldest traditions.
		Thus the council was called to both guard and more efficaciously proclaim the dogmas of the Church, given the unprecedented technological advances of the day and their very complex implications.
		The salient point of this council is not, therefore, a discussion of one article or another of the fundamental doctrine of the Church which has repeatedly been taught by the fathers and by ancient and modern theologians, and which is presumed to be well known and familiar to all.

	Vatican II An Untypical Council
		For an Ecumenical Council to exist, therefore, the conditions are as follows: it must be called by the Pope; its work must be directed by the Pope (in person or by persons delegated by him); and its acts must be confirmed by the Pope.
		The fact that an Ecumenical Council exhibits the exterior marks of being formally regular does not imply, all the same, that its declarations enjoy the guarantee of infallibility and are to be imposed as such on the faith and acceptance of the Faithful.
		As far as the external criteria are concerned, the 20 Councils preceding Vatican II are all "ecumenical" and regular in form; furthermore, they all dealt with disciplinary or administrative questions without going beyond the realm of Church affairs that are proper to Christendom.

		Formally known as an ecumenical council, Councils are a meeting of the bishops of the whole church convened to discuss and settle matters of Church doctrine and practice.
		Vatican I was also the first to be held in over 300 years, since the Council of Trent, to proclaim the doctrine of Papal infallibility when speaking ex cathedra (formally, from the chair of St. Peter) on matters of faith and morals.
		It was first published in the 19th century under the auspices of the Bishop of Baltimore, but I believe it had the support of the whole American hierarchy of that time.

	The Devil's Final Battle
		If the Second Vatican Council was the bomb launched at the heart of the Church, the apparitions and messages of Fatima were meant to be the shelter.
		From questioning the veracity of the seers, the Vatican authorities moved on to silence Sister Lucy and to bar from public access and public view the 5,000 documents in 24 volumes which Father Alonso compiled between 1965 and 1976.
		The book makes clear that the paper the Vatican put forward containing the Fatima secret may have been four pages torn from Sister Lucy’s notebook, but it most definitively was not the single sheet on which she wrote the Third Secret sent years before to Rome.
