Pope John Paul II

Pope John XXII called the Council shortly after he was elected. He noticed that the Church needed to make the message of faith relevant to people in the twentieth century. Ecumenical councils had been called before, but usually during times of great crisis for the church. To most Catholics in 1959, the church didn’t…

Ignatius was a Priest and wanted to open a new religious order to be able to re-educate the Church in its faith.
