Best Answer

There were exactly no doctrines defined at the Second Vatican Council. The Second Vatican Council was the first purely pastoral council ever held in the Church.

Who declared the dogma of the Immaculate Conception?

In 1858, in an apparition the Church has approved as true and worthy of the belief and devotion of Catholics, the Blessed Virgin appeared to St. Bernadette Soubirou and called herself, "The Immaculate Conception", thereby identifying herself by the doctrine of the same name that had been declared in 1854.


What is the most explicit change in the Church brought by the Vatican II?

Catholic AnswerThe Second Vatican Council was not a doctrinal Council, and thus made NO changes in the Church's doctrine. Vatican Council II, for the first time in history, was an entirely pastoral council. Of the twenty-one ecumenical councils of the Church, Vatican Council II was the only one to not deal with any doctrinal issues. The task assigned to the Council by Pope John XXIII was Aggiornamento, in Italian this means a bringing up to date. The Pope asked the Council to try to speak to the people of modern times, to put things in terms that they could understand, to make things more relevant to them. .Thus the most explicit change in the Church was one where the Church was called to be more outgoing, to train its faithful in the Christian life to realize that, as Christians, they are of necessity, evangelists.

One of Pius' opponents at the Council was subsequently excommunicated.Catholic Answer:The doctrine of the Immaculate Conception was defined and declared by Pope Pius IX on December 8, 1854.

What was the purpose of the Second Vatican Council?

The Second Vatican Council (otherwise known as Vatican II) was a pastoral council, convened in order to update and review the disciplines, policies and attitude of the Catholic Church vis-a-via the modern world. Many documents were drafted and voted on in this Council that had a very progressive flavor that ultimately caused a rift among the Council fathers as Conservatives fought to organize and resist the changes. What came out of this was a series of vague documents that both sides could effectively interpret. After Vatican II, the liberal forces having triumphed, the progressive view was adopted which led to the liturgical reforms that brought forth the modern Novus Ordo Missa or New Mass as well as the attitudes towards liturgy in general in its conduct, literature, prayers, architecture and ecumenism. The Council made no dogmatic definitions nor did it declare itself a full ecumenical council versus just a pastoral one. Traditionalists that continue to resist the effects of Vatican II point to this as their justification for rejecting outright or resisting the modern changes. An excellent and remarkably objective book on the Council is "The Rhine Flows into the Tiber" by Ralph M. Wiltgen, who was a journalist covering it at the time.

Where can you find an English translation of the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith's 1990 decision on whether or not yoga is wrong?

It is difficult to find this document on the web. I believe you are looking for a document that was issued on December 14th, 1990. You can inquire to those managing the Vatican's website "Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith" by emailing cdf@cfaith.va and requesting a copy or means to find one.

Why did some think changes made by Vatican 2 a disaster?

Actually, very few people think the changes made by the Second Vatican Council were a "disaster". Even fewer people have actually read the documents and know what the Council said. Unfortunately, in the fifty years after the Second Vatican Council most of the changes that were made, were "in the spiritof Vatican II and were NOT asked for by the Council. Those things were a disaster - look at the state of the church as compared with before the Council, the number of priests and religious is in free fall, churches are closing every day, the Catholic school system is only a shadow of its former self. The number of people leaving the Church each year exceeds the number of converts and confirmations by four to one. Anyone who does not think that the state of the Church is a disaster in the early 21st century has their head in the sand. For more information, please see "Dispatches" at the link below.
