Vatican II in a Year

Reading all the Vatican II Documents can seem overwhelming, but this podcast is here to help.

Have you heard someone talk about Vatican II and wonder what it said? Have you ever felt like your knowledge of Catholicism was superficial? If so this podcast is for you.

The Second Vatican Council documents are the things that are most talked about in Catholic discussions for how little they are read and this podcast seeks to change that.

2025 is the 60th anniversary of the close of the council, so a perfect time to go over all the documents with light commentary. this podcast will cover it all through 365 episodes in 2025.
