Vatican II was long in the planning by the enemies of the Church.

That's a difficult proposition to maintain. In 1961 calling an ecumenical council would not have appeared to be evil, and in fact, as far as I can tell from my readings, nobody did call it an evil gathering of malicious-intending bishops. Nobody. It was completely legitimate. Unless you find something unpublished Padre Pio allegedly said to someone in private, unconfirmed.
Actually I remember hearing that many tradition-minded bishops thought it was a bad idea at the time. There was no specific heresy that it would deal with, nor any other typical reason for calling the council. There was already agitation against the liturgy and dogma, and the council was not intended to correct any of that.

@SHJ-IHM The reference is to the fear that anything can happen in a council, so there was anxiety, but all the (at the time) good bishops voted in near unanimity. The council even afterwards did not seem heretical.

@Seabass I had the book and read parts of it. Do not know what to think of it. True regarding how many Jews for example were involved in the short lived Hungarian communist experiment before WW2, which I had to look up since it is not well known, but overall, a cursory look at the book would make a normal person today to see it as extremely antisemitic, and I really am not so sure the Jews are the …More
@Seabass I had the book and read parts of it. Do not know what to think of it. True regarding how many Jews for example were involved in the short lived Hungarian communist experiment before WW2, which I had to look up since it is not well known, but overall, a cursory look at the book would make a normal person today to see it as extremely antisemitic, and I really am not so sure the Jews are the cause of all the world's evil. Some here might disagree, eg regarding their involvement in Freemasonry, but I'm not going there myself. So, a very very tiny cult like group thought ill of the council.

@Seabass I think you can look up the book you referenced yourself. It is not "a warning about the upcoming council," but a screed against the Jews. It might be correct in many of its facts, but I am not sure what it has to do with the council, although it was supposed to have been written anonymously by anti-council clerics. Maybe John XXIII said some favorable things about them, he did alter the …More

It might be correct in many of its facts, but I am not sure what it has to do with the council, although it was supposed to have been written anonymously by anti-council clerics. Maybe John XXIII said some favorable things about them, he did alter the Latin Mass to remove the reference to the "perfidious Jews." Also in the council documents, some positive things are said about the Jews. But the book is a history of (alleged?) Jewish conspiracies against the Church. I think the book says Arius was a converted Jew, that's an interesting tidbit that I never heard before, do not know if it's true or not, could be, but life is short and I do not have time to verify every fact. By the way, Saint John of the Cross and St Teresa of Avila were from Jewish families which had converted to Catholicism.

@Seabass Read the vote tallies on the documents ratified at Vatican II. The bishops voting were in the 2000 to 2500 range. And there was near unanimity in the acceptance. You can look it up, but usually only 100 bishops voted against. So yes, 12 is a fringe cult group.

Hard facts II Bishops that continue to persecute their priests. and laity for desiring the liturgy, and liturgical practices of our Catholic ancestors before Vat2 are participating in the destruction of the Catholic Faith.
Bishops: Please in the name of Jesus stop persecuting the Church.
For those Bishops protecting the Faith: Thank You, and Deo GratiasMore

It started when the Holy Father did not consecrate Russia and fulfill Our Lady of Fatima's requests!

Spot on and it speeded up when the Third Secret wasn't revealed in 1960, when all should have become clearer - presumably after the VII Council had been was announced the previous year.

@Cassandra Laments Exactly! I find it curious some want to point their finger at Francis, when this has been going on for a long time. Are they trying to draw our attention away from the real cause of our Chastisement?

Well, I suppose there are plenty of people who haven't yet delved into the history of the last few decades and genuinely think that everything was fine before Francis and that it is he not VII which is the only problem. I think though that there are also plenty (probably the vocal majority) who are indeed trying to mislead the first group. I'm not sure how many people would fall into the third group …More

I'm not sure how many people would fall into the third group of those who know the real reasons and acknowledge them!!!

This is so apparent that it defies credibility that even the perceived 'more orthodox' clergy and hierarchy are seriously remiss when they do not openly acknowledge, at the very least, most of these 'rotten fruits' which are the direct result of Vatican II, and the perverse use of the council to 'elbow in' and implement changes never even contain in the council documents themselves.
