The Second Vatican Council covered Holy Orders in Christus Dominus, Presbyterorum Ordinis, Optatam totius: Decree on the Pastoral Office of Bishops in the Church, Decree on the Ministry and Life of Priests, and Decree on the Training of Priests. Their "views" if you will, is that this is a sacred calling from the Lord in which they are promoted to the service of Christ the Teacher, Priest and King; they are given a share in his ministry, through which the Church here on earth is being ceaselessly built up into the People of God, Christ's Body and the temple of the Spirit. The Council covered the Nature of the priesthood, the place of priests in the world, and their functions as ministers of God's Word, of the Sacraments and the Eucharist, as rulers of God's people. It also went int the relation between the bishops and the priestly body, the brotherly bond and cooperation among priests, and their duty to foster vocations. Their very priestly functions both demands and fosters holiness. The Council also goes into the spiritual requirements in the life of the priest and spends pages on the helps in the priest's life.
