“the Second Vatican Council...the greatest gift of the Holy Spirit to the Church in centuries.”
Not exactly.
Vatican II was used as a Trojan Horse for liberal clerics with socialist agendas in mind. They used it to destroy the sacred patrimony of the Catholic Church in its splendid architecture, its rich rituals, robbed the Church of the sacred music, and opened its doors wide open not just for sinners and saints but for avowed and unrepentant heretics and rabid homosexuals. This false inclusivity led to the lowest common denominator- which is banal, insipid, and uninspiring. The consequences have been staggering in Church attendance, calls to the ministry, and a lack of devotion.
