The Second Vatican Council had significant effects on western Catholicism and its architecture. The Campanile Church is a strong example of these effects. It is one among many churches constructed in the 1960s and 1970s using a modern style of architecture. The following section will discuss the Second Vatican Council, how it affected architecture, and how the Campanile Church site demonstrates this shift in architectural styles, as well as what it could mean for the future of the Campanile Church.
The Second Vatican Council was called by Saint John XXIII in 1959 but did not take place until 1962. The main goal of the council was to adapt the Catholic Church and the Church laws to better fit the modern day. It is typically viewed as the most important and significant religious event of the 20th century. As the Second Vatican Council was the first council held in 92 years, the agenda was extensive and set to complete an array of tasks in order to modernize how the Catholic church interacted with the world. The council concluded in 1965, but its effects started to take place before it was over. Even though many effects could be seen immediately or soon after the council, attempts at fully putting into effect the large agenda reviewed during the Second Vatican Council continues today as it often takes many generations to be able to fully adapt the decisions of any church council.
