The Second Vatican Council

The Inside Story of Vatican II

Most people know about Vatican II, but most people don’t know what actually happened at Vatican II. Just as most people have never read the documents of the council, many don’t know how the documents came to be.

Host Stephen Heiner is joined by Father Arnold Trauner, IMBC. Together they’ll use the book ‘The Rhine Flows Into the Tiber’ by Fr. Ralph M. Wiltgen, S.V.D. as a text of reference. The book has also come to be known as ‘The Inside Story of Vatican II’.

This series focuses mainly on the battles which were going on during this time and the doctrinal points which were being disputed.
