| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Vatican Council |
| | According to the dogmatic decision of the Vatican Council, the papacy founded by Christ is the crown and centre of the entire constitution of the Catholic Church. | | | It is pointed out, further, that at all times the popes, in the consciousness of their infallibility in matters of faith for the preservation of the purity of the Apostolic tradition, have acted as the court of last instance and have been called upon as such. | | | In the meantime the bishops of the minority in the council had constantly sought to block the matter, and especially to exert influence to this end on Cardinal Bilio, the president of the deputation on faith. |

| | He explained that the council affirmed that the secular state did not have authority to pronounce on religious truth and rejected coercion by the state in the area of religions but did not set all religions on the same level. | | | He next addressed the belief that the council taught that membership in the Church was not necessary for salvation but reaffirmed that only faith and baptism would bring salvation. | | | He also addressed the extension of the role of Christ, but explained that the council said that it is through Christ and the Catholic Church alone that the meaning and fullness of salvation can be obtained. |

| | Vatican II: 40 years later: A Council Primer |
| | When Pope John XXIII announced on Jan. 25, 1959, that he has going to convene a council of the entire church, he sent the majority of “the people in the pews” (and not a few priests and bishops as well) scurrying for their dictionaries and tomes of church history. | | | (Vatican I, in contrast, had 737 bishops in attendance.) Depending on the session, the number of bishops was between 2,000 and 2,500. | | | The Acts of the Apostles records the church’s first official council: the council of Jerusalem in 51 A.D. There the early church, under Peter’s leadership (following his own personal “conversion” experience on the topic), decided that converts to the new Christian faith were not to be obliged to make their entry through Judaism. |

| | Cardinal seeks Vatican council - 04/08/04 |
| | VATICAN CITY — A cardinal once mentioned as a possible successor to Pope John Paul II is reviving calls for a broad council to help the pope govern the church and is suggesting top bishops might also take part in a conclave to elect a new pontiff. | | | Martini noted that since the Second Vatican Council — the 1962-65 meeting that modernized the Roman Catholic Church — there have been proposals to create a “permanent governing council” to help run the church along with the pope. | | | But he said convening an assembly that represents the universal church to discuss issues could be “a useful experience to undo the disciplinary and doctrinal knots that periodically reopen like hot issues in the path of the church.” |

| | The Council of Constance was held during the great Schism of the West, with the object of ending the divisions in the Church. | | | Quarrels with the pope having arisen, the council was transferred first to Ferrara (1438), then to Florence (1439), where a short-lived union with the Greek Church was effected, the Greeks accepting the council's definition of controverted points. | | | To this council we owe the Nicene Creed, defining against Arius the true Divinity of the Son of God (homoousios), and the fixing of the date for keeping Easter (against the Quartodecimans). |
