We made it through Vatican II?? You must be joking. We are still experiencing the after-effects of Vatican II. What we are seeing now is just going further down the same Modernist slippery slope.
John Paul II came after VatII, remember? And so did Benedict’s instructions on returning to the Mass’s traditional language. Unfortunately, so did the molestation-scandal and the closures of hundreds of Catholic elementary schools. Yes, I GET the damages; but the Church went on, and not one change of doctrine took place. And none will happen now.
