Vatican Council (jan 1, 1962 – jan 1, 1965)

Description:

Bishops from all around the world attended the Second Vatican Council that was held in Rome.
A change in the hierarchical structure of the Church followed and although the role of bishops and priests is important, the role of the laity was seen as active.
The evangelising of the Church was the responsibility of all those that are baptised.
