Vatican II In A Year

Vatican II In A Year is a complete, day-by-day journey through the documents and teachings of the Second Vatican Council — one of the most influential events in modern Church history. Beginning on January 1, 2025 and concluding on December 31, 2025, this daily podcast guided listeners through each line of the Council’s constitutions, decrees, and pastoral guidelines, making dense theological texts accessible, understandable, and spiritually enriching.

Hosted by Fr. Matthew Schneider, LC, the show offered concise readings, clear explanations, and thoughtful reflections on the Council’s teaching on Scripture, the liturgy, the Church’s relation to the modern world, religious freedom, ecumenism, and the universal call to holiness. Each episode focused on a small portion of the Council’s documents, helping listeners take the texts seriously while entering into their deeper meaning and practical implications for daily Catholic life.

Now that the year-long project is complete, all episodes from January 1 through December 31, 2025 are available — forming a comprehensive audio resource for anyone seeking to study Vatican II systematically, whether for personal growth, parish study, or classroom use.

Part of the StarQuest Production Network, Vatican II In A Year reflects SQPN’s mission to connect the faithful with the riches of the Church’s tradition. By walking through Vatican II document-by-document, the podcast equips listeners to understand the Council on its own terms and to appreciate its enduring relevance for Catholics today.
