Pope John XXIII & Vatican II Documents Project
Introduction
Blessed Pope John XXIII was inspired by the Holy Spirit to call the Second
Vatican Council (1962-1965). In his view, the purpose of Vatican II was to update and
renew the church. The Second Vatican Council produced 16 documents. These
documents sought to renew the liturgy, explain the role of the Church in the modern
world, and advance the cause of Christian unity.
