No, Vatican Council I and II were Ecumenical Councils of the Church, they had nothing whatsoever to do with whether someone was validly married. That being said, there was a movement after Vatican Council II to try and see more factors which might possibly invalidate a marriage. However, to the best of my knowledge, the Holy Father has put a stop to this. Either way, you could never "remarry". The only time that you could have a second marriage was if they proved that the first marriage was not valid to begin with, thus the second marriage would not really be a second marriage.
Ecumenical Councils, for the most part, have dealt with heresies, from the first one at Nicaea, which dealt with the Arian heresy through the Council of Trent, which dealt with the protestant heresy. that has been their main function, which a few notable exemptions, the Second Vatican Council dealt with no heresies, nor even any doctrinal issues, it was strictly a pastoral council. Unfortunately, due to the climate of the times, and the deep vein of Modernism which was running underground at the time, heresy followed that Second Vatican Council.
After the Vatican Council II closed, the Popes started to implement the changes that were asked for by the Council. They are still in the process of that in the early 21st century, and will be at it for another fifty years. The Church doesn't move on the same time schedule as the modern world.
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.
There technically is no "Roman" Catholic Church, the Catholic Church has been around for twenty centuries and has had dozens of ecumenical councils in that time. You would have to narrow it down to a specific time period.
The 1962 Time Magazine Person of the Year was Pope John XXIII. He was recognized for his efforts in modernizing and opening up the Catholic Church through 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.
There is a link below to "Vatican Council II: light for Church and the Modern World", the entire document (it is not long) is worth reading. A short, although inadequate answer to your question might be contained in one paragraph about half way through: The Council continued with multiple difficulties of various kinds. Firstly, the themes of the day were numerous and complex; the dealt with the life of the Church, separated brothers, non-Christian religions, humanity in general; and some of these were discussed for the first time in the Council. And, in the discussions, different formations, mentalities and experiences were confronted.
