The Second Vatican Council happened in the first half of the 1960's a little over three years: It opened under Pope John XXIII on 11 October 1962 and closed under Pope Paul VI on 8 December 1965.
It has been fifty years since the Council issued its last document, and the sad truth is that it is just now starting to be implemented. Most of the things that have happened in the past fifty years were NOT called for by the Council, but were done in the "spirit of Vatican II". The current Holy Father, and his two predecessors have made it abundantly clear that most of the things done in the "spirit of Vatican II" were wrong.
