Hi Blogger Insiders,
The Second Vatican Ecumenical Council (Vatican II) was the 21st Council of the Catholic Church. It ran from October 1962 to December 1965. It produced 16 documents which have had a profoundly negative effect on Catholic belief and practice. Most Catholics do not blame Vatican II for the current problems in the Church. I will tell you that no other Church Council is to blame. Let's have a look at the Council that is Vatican II.

Vatican II documents are ambiguous. They contain vague and even contradictory language. Vatican II documents say that Latin is to remain the language of the Mass, but that the Ordinary of the Diocese (that is, the Bishop) can authorize the use of the vernacular to some extent. This has resulted in the entire Mass being said in the vernacular (English, etc.). Vatican II documents say that the organ is to have pride of place, but that other musical instruments may be used. This has resulted in guitar Masses and/or tamborine Masses. Vatican II says that Gregorian Chant is the official music of the Church, but that other music can be used if it suits the liturgy. Gregorian Chant ended up being the only music that didn't fit the liturgy. Vatican II said that the Eucharist is the heart and center of the Church, but most Catholics today don't believe in the Real Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist, and on it goes ad infinitum.
Know your history! Vatican II was a pastoral council. It was not a doctrinal council. Therefore, nothing from Vatican II is binding on the faithful. Vatican II was to promulgate the new Mass. It also established the new ecumenism, the new theology, and ergo the new modernist Church. A church made in the image and likeness of man. It is now known that Vatican II was hijacked by liberals (modernists). Vatican II is their twisted vision of the Church. Most people aren't aware that the original schemas of Vatican II were literally thrown out. As in garbage can, file G. Those original schemas were the work of the Holy Spirit as it is He who guides the Catholic Church and her councils. The schemas that took their place were the calculated schemas of the modernists. From here on in it is their council. Man has free will and the bad fruits of Vatican II substantiate this. Vatican II brought many changes to the Church. They were all bad.
That Vatican II has been an unprecedented disaster for the Catholic Church is plainly evidenced. There has been a 90% drop-off in Catholic belief and practice since Vatican II. It's documented. It can even be said that Vatican II has ushered in the era of the biblically prophesied great apostasy. There is talk of the aftermath of Vatican II. One talks about the aftermath of nuclear war. But the aftermath of Vatican II? Yes. That's how bad it is! Vatican II was a nuclear device dropped on the Church. The Catholic Church would have faired better surviving an actual nuclear attack. Less damage would have been done! Vatican II was the first of a one-two punch to the Catholic Church. The second and final punch was the upper-cut punch of the New Order Mass. End game.
In 1960, Catholicism was flourishing on all fronts. Even the President of the United States was a Catholic. By the end of the 1960's, Catholicism was in full retreat on all fronts. The 1960's were ruinous for the Church. If only in 1960 we could have had a warning of some kind. Someone to send us a message of great import warning us of the dangers to the Faith that would happen to the Church after 1960. If only, if only.
Our Lady of Fatima, in the Third Secret, warned us about all these things now coming to pass. She gave us this secret warning and said that it is to be revealed to the world in 1960! Does the Third Secret mention the council? How could it not?

Pope Benedict XVI (then Fr. Ratzinger) was pictured at the council in civilian clothes (and pictured beside a notorious dissenter). That the Pope has gone from being a liberal Catholic to being a conservative Catholic to becoming a traditional Catholic can be historically documented. The Pope has a monumental task in front of him and that is to bring the Church back to her pre-Vatican II health. To do this he will have to go contrary to the "spirit of Vatican II". Good. Catholics have been haunted by that "spirit" long enough. The "spirit of Vatican II" is the "spirit of the world". It is only since Vatican II that many documents (including papal and concilliar documents) have been substantially unclear and worldly. The trend of weak and ambiguous documents can definitely be traced back to Vatican II. Christ ordained that the universal Church that He established teaches the truth clearly and with His authority by the power of the Holy Spirit. Catholic Church teaching has always been crystal clear. A crystal clear papal document (of the old school variety) will be needed to help free us from the modernist chains of bitter bondage. History will record the final damage count inflicted on Catholics and on the world because of Vatican II. Yet the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council could never have done the damage it did without the aid of the New Order of Mass (Novus Ordo Missae). The New Order Mass will be the subject of my next blog.
God Bless you,
