What is the Vatican II?

Vatican II is the last ecumenical council that the Roman Catholic church had. It is the barely council that the church organized for the past century up to now. Ecumenical councils are held every time the Church feels there are things to be settled within its institution. It is attended by Bishops around the world. Not to be mislead by its name, Vatican II is not a continuation of Vatican I rather, it is a new council give to resolving new issues.Since this council is held almost half a century ago, maybe it is about time for the Church to finally hold another one, not necessarily to settle new issues, but just to transgress the overall status of the Christian world, especially with the advent of stem cell research and the continuing issues of receive control. Besides, things today are definitely different from what they were forty or fifty years ago.The council of Vatican II focus on issues on liturgy, the Church, scripture and divine revelation, and the role of the Bishops. The council produced documents regarding these topics, plus twelve more topics that they discussed in the council. adverse to the previous councils which were held primarily because of the rise of false teachings, the Vatican II did not focus on persecuting heretic teachings. Thus, this council is believably the first of its kind.
