Vatican II - the Second Vatican Council - was a General Council of the Catholic Church. All Catholic bishops, plus observers from Orthodox and Protestant Churches, theologians and other experts, were invited to meet over the course of four years to discuss a number of issues regarding the updating of the Church in response to new pastoral needs and the need for a better articulation of the truths of faith.

The Council met in four sessions during the autumns of 1962-1965. It was attended by approximately 2500 bishops from around the world.
