vatican 2

from an article in the tablet this week: on the Vatican 2 Council - by a correspondent for Time magazine who was there to report on the event.
"In a new spirit, prompted by John 23rd, the bishops realised they werent there to condemn the world, but to serve it . . . . They werent asking what the church needed but what the world needed . . . and once they got used to the idea that nothing in the church was too sacred to discuss, boy, did they start talking!"
