Yes, and Vatican I. The fundamentals of Catholicism are not in the writings of Popes, Cardinals or Bishops. They are in the spirit of God.

Vatican II was the absolutely end of the Catholic Church as we know it. They turned everything into a marketing organization to find ways to fill their churches and wound up losing millions of souls.
One of my most disgusting episodes was at a Catholic Church here in Northern Ohio where the priest had a teenage girl as his alterboy, and if that wasn’t bad enough, he allowed this teenager to pass out consecrated communion.
I pray for the Holy Spirit to deliver His Church from these evils.
As I keep saying, anyone who has ever read “Pascendi Dominici Gregis,” promulgated in 1907 by Pope St. Pius X, would know that Vatican II, by its promotion of all things “Modernism,” is full of the “synthesis of all heresies.” I really don’t know why people are putting their reasoning through contortions. It’s really quite simple, unless one wants to be intellectually dishonest.
