The Second Vatican Council said nothing about beverages in Church.
Catholic AnswerNone, the Second Vatican Council was a purely pastoral council. Unlike previous Councils, it made no rulings or clarifications on doctrine.
The Second Vatican Council was only held fifty years ago, in the Church's history, that is practically overnight. The influence of the Second Vatican Council will not be able to be evaluated for another 50 to 100 years.
After the Second Vatican Council (Vatican II).
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.
The language of the Church is Latin. Vatican II changed the Mass to be in the language of the people of the country. Latin remains the universal language of the church.
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.
The Second Vatican Council was a pastoral Council, it made no changes to Church doctrine, or to the structure of the Church itself.
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.
Catholic AnswerLike all Ecumenical Councils of the Church, it was called by a Pope, in this case, Pope John XXIII. It is "from" the Holy Spirit, as the Holy Spirit guides the Church, guides the Holy Father, and, particularly in an Ecumenical Council, guides their decisions, which, if and when ratified by the Holy Father, are infallible decisions of the Magisterium, as these were by Pope Paul VI.
