CVII, or the Council of Vatican II, was an ecumenical council of the Roman Catholic Church that took place from 1962 to 1965. It aimed to address relations between the Catholic Church and the modern world, promoting renewal and reform within the Church. The council produced several key documents that focused on various aspects of Church life, including liturgy, ecumenism, and the role of the laity. The council was convened by Pope John XXIII and later continued under Pope Paul VI. Its outcomes significantly influenced Catholic doctrine and practice, encouraging greater engagement with other Christian denominations and fostering a more open approach to contemporary issues.
