Document Summary
Catholic revolution 1962-1965: second vatican council, themes of the council, education and the council. Pope pius the 12th 1958: very about sacredness, after he died they elected someone a bit older 77 years old- angelo roncalli. Served as vatican diplot in the military in paris and turkey. He took the name john the 23rd but this created problems cause there was a pope that was john the 23rd before but he wanted to get this title and put the other name. He approached people as he wasnt pope he would call the bishops brother bishop. He wanted to foster better relationships with non catholic christians in the world and bring about unity. So things begin to look diff in the vatican b/c of him. His crisis was how the church has to deal with the world/modern world and what we need is an updating aggiornamento . In 1962 this council was called: 2500 bishops were in this council.
