Invited and attending the Second Vatican Council were any number of observers, primarily periti (experts in various fields, the current pope, Benedict XVI, served as a periti during the Second Vatican Council), also there were outsiders invited to observe such as representatives from various protestant groups..
from Wikipedia:
Attendance varied in later sessions from 2,100 to over 2,300. In addition, a varying number of periti (Latin: "experts") were available for theological consultation-a group that turned out to have a major influence as the council went forward. Seventeen Orthodox Churches and Protestant denominations sent observers. More than three dozen representatives of other Christian communities were present at the opening session, and the number grew to nearly 100 by the end of the 4th Council Sessions.
