Was just discussing something...MR, excellent take. Was just discussing something of a similar nature with my childhood priest (whom I tracked down after 30 years!). Unfortunately, as with any other denomination there are those who, even while in the midst of the demonstrably faithful, will continue to try to remake the faith in their own image. This has been the case from the beginning of time.<br />While I don't entirely blame Vatican II, I do think that was a turning point. It opened up a world of misunderstanding and avenues for incorrect doctrine. The fact that there are soooo many of us V-II babies returning to the Church after decades of seeking God in protestant circles suggests that, although our Christian education as young Catholics suffered greatly, God has so marked our hearts that our generation is beginning to realize what has been stolen from them. And in that realization, are demanding that TRUTH be repaid. This can only portend good for the Church.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08977538655651509587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8781753636089506134.post-22308982840137329172009-12-15T07:02:19.835-05:002009-12-15T07:02:19.835-05:00I have to agree with Saintos. Vatican II was not ...I have to agree with Saintos. Vatican II was not the problem. The problem is those with an agenda hijacked the findings of the council. The new mass is from these people. The stripped down, ugly churches are from these people, who said they were working from the "spirit of Vatican II" when Vatican II called for no such thing. The loss of Latin was because of these people.<br /><br />The support of abortion from prominent Catholics came from these liberal priests who convinced these Catholics, like the Kennedys, that they could biblically support both abortion and Catholicism and reap the monetary rewards and power. <br /><br />It is these "Catholic" priests and "Catholic" doctors who publically dissented on birth control and started a whole culture of dissent when lay people were told by these priests birth control would be allowed - it was just a matter of time - and when it wasn't all heck broke loose.<br /><br />It is these people, with strings of letters after their names, that convinced the lay faithful they could have their cake and eat it too, no suffering involved.Marcy K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17472222489998267686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8781753636089506134.post-34361940775084828962009-12-13T03:32:24.103-05:002009-12-13T03:32:24.103-05:00I am another returnee who agrees with you but what...I am another returnee who agrees with you but what can we do? Here in my diocese in NZ it's <br />impossible to get to a devout and reverent Mass. I am considered over-pious because I kneel at the consecration! What can we do? I pray...and pray...and pray. His power is greater than the evil that is being done in his name. So get on your knees folks, it's the best we can do!jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07381500832114145578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8781753636089506134.post-20513058263564079192009-12-12T18:03:27.908-05:002009-12-12T18:03:27.908-05:00Another convert chimes in.

I guess I musn't be a card carrying traditionalist because I tend to see the problem not as Vat2 itself but how it was high-jacked by the left and doctrinally unorthodox.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8781753636089506134.post-84997512512252457552009-12-12T17:31:22.215-05:002009-12-12T17:31:22.215-05:00Absolutely excellent!!
