Vatican ll

I chose this piece of work because it was interesting to learn about the history of our church and the many changes that were instituted in this Council.

I learned from this assignment that masses used to be in Latin rather than the language of the country.

One thing I want to tell you about this assignment is that the council was called to increase the fervor of the church and bring the church leaders together.
