Today, hardly anyone remembers the pre Vatican II Church and that in itself makes the reforms "irreversible." Perhaps Vatican II should be called Reformation II? Although Vatican 2 was misinterpreted ,Our Blessed Lord is still present in the Eucharist -just the same as He is in the Orthodox Church.
It is the same Christ on our alters that is on the Orthodox alters

It is the same Christ on our alters that is on the Orthodox alters I never meant to imply that he wasn't, sfa. The sacraments are not invalidated because of the character or the misinterpretation of the validly ordained clergy. The apostolic authority of the catholic and apostolic Church is not diminished by personal vices and failings of some of her members.
