At the suggestion of a good friend who has been a theological thorn in my side
from time to time, I've created a web page dedicated to one of the most influential councils of the Church:

The Second Vatican Council, otherwise known as, Vatican II

If you have any suggestions on what you would like to see on this page, please e-mail them to me.

Thanks,

Mike Humphrey,
