"By their fruits you shall know them" The floor fight for control of the "correct" interpretation of Vatican II has been going on for a long time. One might suspect it will continue to go on as long as there are goofy modernist things going on in the official church. But Vatican II did not invent the Catholic faith. Everything one needs to believe in order to be a Catholic existed before the 1960s - the Creed, the articles of faith, the sacramental theology, the mysterium fidei, etc.

"But Vatican II did not invent the Catholic faith."
No, it attempted to reinvent the Catholic faith and what were the results of this reinvention? Were they as promised by those who championed these reforms or were the results similar to what those who warned against the reforms thought they would be?
