Resources on Vatican II

This section of the web site offers you two major items. There are, first of all, several articles on Vatican II which you will find provacative and exciting! One gives the method which the Council used to decide on reform in the Church! Another discusses the factors in the Church and the world which gave rise to the Council. A third offers a Glossary of Vatican II Terms. And finally, there is a copy in plain English of Atlanta Archbishop Hallinan's stunning speech on the place of women in the Church, given in general session on Oct 11, 1965. This is a "must read."

You can also obtain Vatican II in Plain English here. This three volume set provides you with everything you need to be a good teacher on Vatican II: (1) the background and story of the Council in book one, (2) summaries and plain English renderings of the four most major documents in book two, and (3) summaries and plain English renderings of the other twelve Council documents in book three. This collection should be in every Catholic's library!
