John XXIII, Paul VI, Archbishop Jadot, numerous other figures of that time, their gross negligence, and the vaunted "Spirit of Vatican II" (i.e.. the purposeful distortion of ambiguous documents) nearly drove me to the Russian Orthodox Church in America (an anticommunist Church with no connection to the Metropolitan of Moscow) but the failure of the Orthodox to accept that the pope has the keys given to Peter by Christ was the barrier that stopped me until John Paul I was elected. If you believe he was a Modernist, you don't know his history. Likewise, I do not accept the notion that Pope Saint John Paul II or Benedict XVI are or were Modernist heretics.
I believe that the teaching Magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church has not changed. The Truth is, was, and always will be the same. At various times in history, we have had truly rotten popes. Long before Vatican II, we had Alexander VI. We have had popes who murdered their predecessors. We have had popes who have bought the office. In this post-Vatican II moment, we are again burdened with an airhead pope who refuses to recognize his obligation to judge. In this, he rejects a direct teaching of Jesus Christ.
The pope I am hoping to see elected by the next conclave will be one who crushes the errors of Spineless Frankie.
So you believe that all of the post-Vatican II popes didn't really understand the true teachings of Vatican II and that they were all duped by its Modernist "ambiguities". For example, the Assisi's and various other inter-religious prayer with non-Catholics once and always condemned by the Catholic Church was just a mistaken understanding of VII's false ecumenism.
If the popes didn't know the true teaching of Vatican II, who did?
