To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the opening of Vatican Council II, Pauline Multimedia of Brazil has produced a beautiful documentary that offers a historical-ecclesial and also forward-looking reading of this significant event.
Vatican Council II: A New Pentecost has raised great interest among those involved in the areas of study and theological formation. Featuring authentic historical photos, the DVD presents not only the situations and socio-cultural-ecclesial transformations that preceded the Council and impacted its work, but also the journey of the Church in applying its documents to different contexts.
The documentary offers everyone, especially the new generations, the chance to rediscover the Church as the People of God, open to the signs of the times and to modernity. As John Paul II said, the Council continues to be a “compass,” pointing out the journey the Church must pursue in contemporary society.
