Historic Ecumenical Council Vatican Two Convenes
Footage of the historic Ecumenical Council, Vatican Two (Second Vatican Council), as it comes to a close amid colorful pomp and pageantry in Vatican City, Rome Italy. What is looked upon as one of the most important councils in Catholic church history, Vatican II saw 2,400 Bishops and other prelates revise many aspects of Church activity. An estimated 100,000 people crowd St. Peter's Square to receive the blessing of Pope Paul VI.
