The most important work accomplished by Pope John was the convening of the Second Vatican Council. His pontificate was supposed to be a transitional one. Instead, it turned out to be, as one journalist reported, an earthquake. Not only did he intend for a council to be convened, but he also intended to reform canon law and to call a synod to work on the problems in the Diocese of Rome itself. His goals were more than just a change of class. They came to be known as acultural leap. Popes John Paul II and John XXIII will be declared saints on April 27, 2014.
