I'm not Catholic, but my roots are Irish Cathloic, as are my husband's. During family get togethers, my Catholic relations frequently express anger over the Vatican II changes. I have to think this must be a common opinion among mainline Catholics.

It is not common among mainline Catholics to reject Vatican II. Those who do reject it likely number less than 5% of active Catholics.

What changes offend your relatives?

I know an Irish Catholic man who rants about "machine gun toting mini-skirted Maryknoll nuns" but he never goes to church anyway.

It is. V2 was a turning point. The liberal commies became ascendant. Their heterodox destruction of the liturgy and the culture was done with deliberation both inside and outside the Church. The Council itself isn't the issue, rather what the sodomite scum who tried to take over the Church did with it. They are dying off, going to jail and being exposed on a daily basis as the Holy Ghost returns order to His Church. Come home to Rome, the cleansing is ongoing.

Vatican II didn't change any teachings of the Church but it did change the language and some traditions of the Mass. Many "innovators" encouraged and implemented changes that were not mandated by Vatican II and a lot of Catholics are unhappy with the way *some* maybe even most priests now say the Mass. But the essense of the Mass never changed (the host is still consecrated and therefore becomes the body and blood of Jesus Christ) it's just the more modern elements of it that some people become angry over.
