I mean,considering the clerics never bothered to read the documents it produced, it couldn’t have been of any real value...

I honestly missed the sarcasm. It may be because of seeing so many many people dissing the Church these days. Some want the Church to change and be more liberal; others want the Church to revert to Latin only liturgies. I reacted in a somewhat knee-jerk fashion. Apologies.
To respond to what you stated above, I can only say that the position of Apostle was offered to Judas and he allowed his own disorder to prevail instead. This is also what happened to SOME clerics and then with some laity with the implementation of Vatican II. They simply chose their own ideas of how to do this, rather than that of the holy men who honestly were trying to follow the lead of the Holy Spirit. Their own disorder prevailed rather than what God’s Spirit was offering.
I have also honestly wondered how many people were regularly praying for the Church in those days...?
Ephesians 6:18
others want the Church to revert to Latin only liturgies
for the record, I am one of those...

the question is why anyone seemed to think the services of the Holy Spirit (which let’s face it, as the Church defines it today can be anything anyone wants it to be) were needed to fix something that wasn’t broken...the seminaries and Catholic schools are certainly bustling places today compared to the ‘50’s, aren’t they...
