This bonus episode is a class that Fr. Kowalczyk taught at the parish for an Advent teaching series on Vatican II.

Part 1a gives an overview of Church Councils in general and the setting of the Second Vatican Council in particular.

Part 1b continues into some specifics of the running of the council itself and why after over 50 years we are just now getting to its proper implementation. 

The books referenced in class is Reclaiming Vatican II by Fr. Blake Britton and To Sanctify the World by George Weigel.
