VATICAN II: A Vehicle of Grace for Our Time

[PKinsale]

Remember, it is the inention of this thread to discuss the graces that we have received through Vatican II. All criticisms of Vatican II should be placed in another thread.

Thanks and God bless

Post No. 3 started the debate. Out of deference to you as OP I will alter the course of my participation in this.

For anyone who is really interested you might want to pick up a copy of “The Ratzinger Report.” It’s a timely read especially since the Holy Father is in America right now. Much of what he has said in the book he has reiterated many times over since his election to the papacy in regards to Vatican II. A lot of answers to questions posed here at CAF can be found in this work.

Without having read all of the posts, I for one say, “Thank God for Vatican II”. I saw many people leave the Church they professed they loved, and go to other churches (small c) they did not, because of English, no altar rails, turned around altar. things that have nothing to do with true Catholicism. Did they really know their faith to start with? , I don’t think so. We always like to remember the old, as the good old days. I for one have seen great strides since Vatican II. As I said before in another post, I was blessed to speak to one of the council fathers and talk about the changes. He was very saddened with what he saw of people proclaiming the spirit of Vatican II, when in fact they did not know what they were talking about. Many abuses we saw, which are now being slowly (for us) corrected are going away. I still believe we will have a more vibrant and living Church as a result.
