There were 16 official documents promulgated by the Second Vatican CouncilIf you don’t accept the teachings of Vatican II, you don’t accept the Pope’s authority.
Do you accept the teachings of Vatican II? Again, you can’t pick and choose which teachings of the Church you listen to.
The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy (Sacrosanctum Concilium).is the document that has had the biggest impact on the daily lives as ordinary Catholics in the pew.
**
The Constitution declared:**
** “in faithful obedience to tradition the Council declares that Holy Mother Church holds all lawfully recognized rites to be of equal right and dignity, that she wishes to preserve them in the future and to foster them in every way (article 4)”. *
Has the old Mass been preserved and fostered? Who, then, is being faithful to the Council?
Under the general norms it states:
** “Therefore, no other person, not even a priest, may add, remove, or change anything in the liturgy on his own authority (article 22)”. *
Well, we all know that the Mass is no longer the Mass these days unless someone adds their own inventions to it.
** “The use of the Latin language is to be preserved in the Latin rites (article 36).” *
Has it been preserved? Who, then, is being obedient and faithful to the Council?
** “Care must be taken to ensure that the faithful may be able to say or sing together in Latin those parts of the Mass that pertain to them (article 54).” *
Are Latin responses said or sung in your parish church? Who, then, is being obedient and faithful to the Council?
** “The Church recognizes Gregorian chant as being specially suited to the Roman liturgy. Therefore, other things being equal, it should be given pride of place in liturgical services (article 116).” *
Is Gregorian chant given pride and place in their parish churches? Who, then, is being obedient to the Council?
In the Constitution on the Liturgy there is nothing in it which even hints at such novelties as Mass facing the people, or a vernacular Mass, or Communion in the hand, or extraordinary ministers of Communion. Who, then, is being obedient and faithful to the Council?
It has all been a sorry and catastrophic tragedy which has affected the whole Church, and the people who have suffered the most have been the young. They have been deprived of their birthright and robbed of their heritage, their history, and their traditions.
