Paul VI started it.
Maybe this was all prophesied by the third Secret of Fatima. Vat II started in 1962 and Lucy wrote the Secret out in 1943 longhand and insisted the Secret not be revealed till 1960 and some of the Secret has still never been revealed because the Curia knew the result of the Third Secret. Since Vat II 18000 priests have left Holy Orders, Churches and schools around the World are closing at an alarming rate and Mass attendance is down greatly. Even Popes demand some of the Secret not be revealed because the Progressives want to continue minimizing the Church because Satan is in control of them. Maybe a simple solution is for the next Pope be a Traditionalist and admit a mistake was made and revert back to the Traditional Church by banning VatII.
