It doesn't hold true for what came out of Vatican II, presided over by TWO popes. It was the twenty-first ecumenical council of the Catholic Church and the second to be held at Saint Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. The council, through the Holy See, formally opened under the pontificate of Pope John XXIII on 11 October 1962 and closed under Pope Paul VI on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception in 1965. ...Of those who took part in the council's opening session, four have become pontiffs to date: Cardinal Giovanni Battista Montini, who on succeeding Pope John XXIII took the name of Paul VI; Bishop Albino Luciani, the future Pope John Paul I; Bishop Karol Wojtyła, who became Pope John Paul II; and Father Joseph Ratzinger, present as a theological consultant, who became Pope Benedict XVI.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Vatican_Council
How about it, NKP_vet, are you supposed to say Vatican II was wrong or that the Catechism is just based on someone's opinion? Can you "fathom" that thought and still be a good, faithful Catholic?
No salvation outside the Catholic Church for those that willingly spit in the face of the church. For those that know the Catholic Church, but still reject it. Those teachings have never changed. That describes 99% of the Catholic-bashers on this board. In otherwords ignorance is no excuse.
