Summary/Abstract: The Second Vatican Council was the most important event in the Roman Catholic Church during the 20th century. The Council made some decisions that changed the basic mass and to some extent approached it the Orthodox. Seen in a dogmatic plan the Second Vatican Council confirmed the decision of the First Vatican Council in reference to Papal infallibility. The Synod of Bishops was established to cooperate the Pope and to advise him on the issues of faith. The final decisions of Catholic Church although voted by the Council were approved only by the Roman pontiff. In this respect, even reformed the Roman Catholic Church did not solve some main issues that constitute an obstacle to the dialogue with the Orthodox Church.
