The Basic Sixteen Documents Vatican Council II: Constitutions, Decrees, Declarations
I kept on hearing about the Second Vatican Council in my Basic Apologetics Class so I bought and read this book. Now I have a crystal clear idea on what changes it brought to the Catholic Church.
It was the biggest council that got convened inside the Vatican. It was attended by many men of faith not only the cardinals, bishops but even representatives from the other religions like Eastern Orthodox and Protestant denominations. It was also participated by laity more than any other councils in the history of the Catholic Church.
The Second Vatican Council lasted for 3 years, i.e., 1962-1964. That's why when I was a toddler I still was able to attend the Latin Mass every Sunday. This council open the Holy Mass, used to be said only in Latin, to other languages or vernaculars. It also changed the layout of the altar specifically the location of the tabernacle. Also, the priest used to be saying the mass with his back at the audience. The Second Vatican Council made the mass more participatory to the laity. Last year, I was invited by a former friend to hear a Latin Mass. I actually did not appreciate it because I didn't know what's going on. He did not know also but he seemed to enjoy not knowing what's going on. He seemed to be a fanatics and thought probably that he looked more religious if he attends a mass where he does not understand even the gospel. That was a waste of time for me. He seemed to want to return to pre-Vatican II times.
Reading this book can be a struggle if you are not taking up a degree on Theology. It's just that I wanted to learn more about something that I did know anything about.
Thanks to Totus Bookstore for recommending this book to me.
