So they were addressing, calling out the issues that needed to be addressed that had not been addressed before so that we can gain some understanding from sacred scripture how to live in this world that we're living in. Does that kind of make sense? Yeah, so it was a gathering of... What were some of those issues? Um...

Let's see, there were, I'm trying to think, there were like all sorts of stuff. One of it was like the role of the people in the church. One of the problems that we noticed was like, in some ways, like too many priests were getting, you know, a big head, getting power hungry. And so I was like, well, hold on, like you are the priest, you have been ordained for this, this is true.

But also you got to recognize that your flock have a voice as well. So recognizing like the role of the faithful. That was one of the biggest things from Second Vatican Council. There's a million different, I say million, not a million.

the preaching of the gospel and whenever i say that i don't mean like watering the gospel down to make people feel good what i mean is like recognizing that we have a job to preach the gospel to all people um so it's calling us telling us to do our work and with the it was also pointing out the fact that the the lay faithful that means the people that aren't priests or deacons like they have a voice and they have to go out and preach the gospel too that's kind of the shortest way of putting it um but it

A lot of churches still use a lot of Latin. But it wouldn't make sense for me to preach to my people in Latin if they don't understand it. I need to preach to them in English or Spanish, you know, whatever language they understand. Yeah, it's basically coming to the times with the gospel, the gospel that doesn't change, bringing that gospel to the people today and the questions that they have.
