I really feel that the Catholic Church needs to abolish Vatican II return to the laws, practices and traditions prior to Vatican II implication.

There has been nothing but turmoil, confusion and a exodus from the pews of what was one of the mosdt strongest supporters of the values that we are fighting to retain and in some cases to return to now.

Vatican II and it's attempt to accept the teachings of other more permissive religions is a failure. If the Vatican places no value in Catholicism why would the people. Prior to V2 a Catholic and being a Catholic was very unique and the people felt the difference between themselves and members of other religions. Catholics were taught that the Catholic Church was the one true Church because of it's connection with Jesus through his apostile Peter. Peter being the Rock that the church was built on.

The Lord chose Peter because Peter was an ordinary commonsense man. He was not the most intelleigent or the most creative of the Apostles -- To ensure that the HOLY Roman Catholic Church would endure until the end times, The Lord built his church on the weakest link of the chain, because a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link -- Peter -- a common man.

Rome has lost the faith, we need to return to the time of our father's or better still our Grandfather's time and the Catholicism Practiced then, prior to Vatican II. The Catholic Church was always a hard place to live in, but the Best Place to die in.

Was the Catholic faith losing people prior to Vatican II?
