In the wake of the Second Vatican Council, a wave of now-familiar but then-novel structures emerged: bishops' conferences, priests' councils, parish councils and diocesan pastoral councils.
The National Catholic Reporter, founded more than 60 years ago during those Vatican II reforms, has covered many of these groups closely from the beginning
In 1968, the National Federation of Priests' Councils was founded, after a year of work by a committee of eight priests, all from the Midwest. The group was convinced that "episcopal collegiality could not be truly effective without presbyteral collegiality."
