In the decades leading up to the Second Vatican Council, we see a gradually weakening of Catholic principles on the part of not only the laity, but even the clergy, and even some of the pre-Vatican II popes. Principles such as remaining a “people set apart” the dangers of worldliness,  penitential and liturgical disciplines being relaxed, unnecessary communication with non-believers, inter-marriage discipline being ignored, and even ecuмenistic events that sought “dialogue” with Jews, and Protestants. All this deep rot, burst forth for the world to witness at Vatican II. Kind of like this:

• Division of the Two Kingdoms: Following the death of King Solomon around 931 BCE, the united kingdom of Israel split into the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah.
• Elijah's Ministry Begins: Elijah's ministry began around 870 BCE, during the reign of King Ahab in the northern kingdom of Israel.
• Confrontation with Baal: Elijah's most notable act took place on Mount Carmel when he challenged King Ahab and the prophets of Baal to a contest to prove who was the true God.
• Ascension: Elijah's time as an active prophet concluded around 849 BCE when, according to the account in 2 Kings, he was taken into heaven by a whirlwind.
• Letter to King Jehoram: Later, a letter from Elijah was sent to King Jehoram of Judah (2 Chronicles 21:12). Since Jehoram's reign took place after Elijah's supposed ascension,
• some biblical scholars believe Elijah was transported to another location rather than taken directly to the presence of God.

• Elijah's Ministry (approx. 870–849 BCE): Elijah was a prophet in the northern kingdom of Israel during the reigns of King Ahab and his son, Ahaziah. 
• Assyrian Invasion (approx. 740 BCE): The Neo-Assyrian Empire began its conquest of the northern kingdom under King Tiglath-Pileser III around 740 BCE.

1. I think we should avoid the use of dates as BCE ("Before Common Era" replacing "Before Christ").

• Division of the Two Kingdoms: Following the death of King Solomon around 931 BC, the united kingdom of Israel split into the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah.

2. Please consider removing that image, it is unnecessary and disgusting. 

I thought some (such as Angelus and others) would find it interesting to discuss the parallels between the Two Kingdoms,

Where the figures are as follows;

Southern Kingdom 2 tribes = faithful Catholics pre-Vatican II (to some extent).

Northern Kingdom 10 tribes = majority of bad Catholics pre-Vatican II

Assyrian destruction/captivity of Samaria = Vatican II

In the decades leading up to the Second Vatican Council, we see a gradually weakening of Catholic principles on the part of not only the laity, but even the clergy, and even some of the pre-Vatican II popes. Principles such as remaining a “people set apart” the dangers of worldliness,  penitential and liturgical disciplines being relaxed, unnecessary communication with non-believers, inter-marriage discipline being ignored, and even ecuмenistic events that sought “dialogue” with Jews, and Protestants. All this deep rot, burst forth for the world to witness at Vatican II.

The more liberal Catholics (10 tribes) were allowed to go unpunished a formed a false sect from within (Samaria) that did not follow the Church authorities in doctrine/practice, but rather set up a counter magisterium to spread their pernicious errors (modernism) laying the ground work for the very invasion the Church would be overtaken with by Vatican II (the Assyrian destruction and subsequent "captivity").

And of course then their are many parallels that can be inferred from the plight of the Southern Kingdom (Trads)

Timeline of key events

• Assyrian Invasion (approx. 740 BC): The Neo-Assyrian Empire began its conquest of the northern kingdom under King Tiglath-Pileser III around 740 BC.

Siege and Fall of Samaria (722 BC): The Assyrians laid siege to Samaria, the capital of the northern kingdom. The city fell in 722 BC under the Assyrian king Sargon II, and the Israelite population was deported throughout the Assyrian.

It is an apt and fitting image that convey's the truth about the deep set rot and subsequent "explosion" of filth/bile after Vatican II.

While I cannot remove the image from the original post - Matthew can if he should like, or you may ask him to if you find it impossible to avert your eyes and make due with this redacted post with the other mentioned corrections.

Thanks!

Perfectly, thank you.

Let me ask, do you also believe that their can be layers of parallels within the Scriptures, were any single historical event Scriptures can contain parallels and figures pointing to multiple future instances which can allow one to see types/figures in a comparative sense that spans multiple timelines rather than chronologically only where the swap is only one for one figure for figure, type for type, etc.
