    In this episode, John and Fr. Stephen delve into the historical context of Vatican II.

    Take a walk through history with us as we revisit the abrupt end of the First Vatican Council in 1870 and the unresolved issues it left behind. Fast forward to 1958, when Pope John XXIII initiated the Second Vatican Council with a focus on inclusivity and transparency. We explore how his vision aimed at addressing the Church's challenges and how the preparatory work set the stage for a significant shift towards openness and communal participation within the Church.

    Understanding the Second Vatican Council's teachings isn't straightforward, and we tackle the complexities head-on. From the diverse sources and necessary compromises to the broader context of the council's entirety, we provide insights into interpreting these teachings.
