The Second Vatican Council, also known as Vatican II, was an ecumenical council of the Roman Catholic Church held from 1962 to 1965. It was convened by Pope John XXIII with the aim of addressing relations between the Catholic Church and the modern world. The council produced significant documents that aimed to modernize Church practices and approaches, engaging with contemporary issues such as religious freedom, ecumenism, and the role of the laity. The reforms initiated by Vatican II had a profound impact on the Church's liturgy, governance, and its relationship with other faiths.
