- Small Group Questions to Consider:
  
  1. What do you think is the most important Council in Church history? Even if it is just 'your favorite', why?
  
  2. Were councils more important -- was there more at stake -- in the days of the Early Church when, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the council fathers were hammering out the ins and outs of fundamental doctrine?
  
  3. What are modern Catholics missing about Vatican II and the meaning of Vatican II?
  
  4. Do we need a Third Vatican Council? And, if so, what issues would you envision the Council addressing?
