Capuchin Father Thomas Weinandy is “uncomfortable" with the conclusion that Vatican II is "the direct source and cause of the present disheartening state of the Church.”
A critic of Francis, Weinandy doesn't deny the huge damage done to the Church in the last decades (InsideTheVatican.com, July 27).
However, for him it's naïve to think that so many priests and faithful were people of deep faith, and then, overnight, were corrupted by the Council and its spirit, and left.
Therefore, he argues that the Council only provided the occasion for the already existing difficulties to come to light, "they were already there, deeply embedded within the Church, prior to the Council.”
Weinandy's thesis sharply contradicts John XXIII who admitted in his Opening Speech for Vatican II (October 11, 1962) that there was no lack of false doctrines, opinions, or dangerous concepts, but then explained that "these things so openly conflict with the right norms of honesty, and have borne such lethal fruits …More

"The Vatican 2 revolt, produced Nostra Aetate, in which the subversive bishops praised Muhammadans, and wrote favorably of pagans..."
Was Christ "subversive" as well? :P Matthew 5: 44-47 "But I say to you, Love your enemies: do good to them that hate you: and pray for them that persecute and calumniate you:
That you may be the children of your Father who is in heaven, who maketh his sun to rise …More

For if you love them that love you, what reward shall you have? do not even the publicans this?
And if you salute your brethren only, what do you more? do not also the heathens this?"
Showing charity to your enemies is the first step to opening their hearts and their minds to the Good News. @Be Ye Stupid .
Of course, you know nothing of that. You're too busy misinterpreting St. Paul. Paul himself explains how we should treat the enemies of The Church in Romans 12: 20.
"But if thy enemy be hungry, give him to eat; if he thirst, give him to drink. For, doing this, thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head."
So Jesus contradicted your opinion of the Council and Paul contradicted your misinterpretation his writing. Two for two, you blew it.
