Slaying the "Spirit" of Vatican II With the Light of Truth (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780991588398)

Get the book that slices through the false dilemma of Vatican II.

When the Second Vatican Council completed, the progressives and modernists rapidly hijacked the implementation. In the name of Vatican II, ordinary Catholics were shafted with felt banners, whitewashed sanctuaries, wreckovations, and destruction of traditional devotions and practice. When called out on the activities, the catchphrase "in the spirit of Vatican II" was used to cloak the fraud.

Today, these progressive elements surge our Church with calls for further reform, further accommodations to libertine error, and attempting again to erase traditions of the Roman Catholic faith. In some quarters, they are even claiming that the error and confusion wrought in the "Spirit of Vatican II" is irreversible.

This book's purpose is to end confusion over what the Second Vatican Council actually did.

What most people do is throw their hands up and wish for a day in the future where Vatican II will be erased. Meanwhile, the Spirit of Vatican II marches on and claims more and more. This makes a false dilemma -- on one side, people who think the confusion is irreversible, and on the other, people who think the Church should wipe out all of Vatican II. This has been the problem of the past 50 years, and it's getting us nowhere.

• Imagine being able to use Vatican II itself to explain why they are wrong.
• Imagine being able to describe a path of reform, based on Vatican II, that does not admit the felt banners, folk hymns, guitar Masses, false ecumenism, and hand wringing for relevance.
• In other words, imagine being able to plot a path back to worshipping God with fidelity to tradition and beauty of the Roman Catholic faith

You might even have a small guilt trip once you realize that merely wishing Vatican II away has given a foothold to further modernist progression in the Church. That's OK -- we're Catholic, and guilt trips should motivate us to change our ways and get with the program laid out by Mother Church.
