Text transcribed from caption: C-29938 FIRST ECUMENICAL COUNCIL VATICAN CITY
-- Resumption of the Second Vatican Council recalls the first of the previous
20 Ecumenical Councils held in the history of the Church. That first Council
was held at Nicaea in the year 325. Summoned by Pope Sylvester I and lasting
two months and 12 days, it condemned Arianism which denied the divinity of
Christ; formulated the Nicene Creed; and fixed a formula for dating Easter
observances. Vatican II, called by the late Pope John XXIII, is aimed at
Church renewal and reform in the 20th century. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS
