11 October 1962: The Second Ecumenical Council of the Vatican opened—Announced by Pope John XXIII on 25 January 1959 to finish the incomplete work of the First Vatican Council (1869-1870); the council's watchwords were ressourcement (French), returning to the sources—the Bible & the Church Fathers—& aggiornamento (Italian), bringing up to date the Church's proclamation of the Gospel.
