Why did everyone except a handful of traditionalists go along with it?
Because the people who should have known better were confused and afraid.
Many things combined to give a most favorable environment for the
unclean spirit
of Vatican II to do its dirty work. This is the mystery of iniquity at work, it is a
battle of the powers and principalities in high places.
Science, technology, the A-bomb, two unprecedented world wars, Communism,
abortion, divorce and re-marriage, ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity, the "sɛҳuąƖ revolution," Rock 'n
Roll, drug culture, the War in Viet Nam, the Forgotten War (Korea), JFK, the race
to land a man on the moon, and last but not least, the suppression of the Third
Secret of Fatima, to name a few, all contributed to a climate of innovation in
the practice of the Faith, an opportunity unprecedented in the history of the world.
And the devil did not miss his opportunity.
And this same
unclean spirit of Vatican II is still alive today. It is part and
parcel of Modernism, and it is in the air we breathe. We are all subject to its
temptation, inasmuch as we all live "in the world."
I have an old, 19th century book with a holy card in it showing a priest, and the
handwritten words below it say, "He was in the world, but not of the world." These
were words that traditionally were a great compliment and commonly used to give
honor and recognition to holy priests and religious. They were words that were as
an unction of consolation to the ears of same, for they told them what they wanted
to hear, that their life's work was not in vain. They had fought the good fight. They
had kept the faith. They had handed down that which they had received. That kind
of thing.
All of this was thrown out the door, or the window (take your pick) at Vatican II.
It was not a sudden thing. It had been smoldering for years under the surface.
And it continues to smolder today. But it turned into a raging inferno during
and after "the Council" but it was a raging fire that went unnoticed by many. It was
as though a fire visible by those with eyes to see and ears to hear, as Our Lord
said, "let him who readeth understand."
I remembered and lived through those times.
Nuns perfectly Orthodox late as 1964 were teaching heresy in
1965.
Priests that seen Orthodox in 1964 were [exchanging] pulpits with
[protestant] ministers beginning in 1965. And, making a mockery
of the mass.
I refused to [go] along with it them, and now.
Catholic schools started holding "non-denominational" religion classes. At one
Catholic school in Indonesia, for example, Mohammedanism was taught in a
room where those children whose parents so agreed, studied the Koran. The
current claimant to the White House attended such a school. By their fruits you
shall know them....
There had been a priest whose picture had hung on the walls of school classrooms
all over the country, for years and years. Then one day, suddenly, his pictures
were taken down without any explanation. He had been the darling of educators
from sea to shining sea one day, and
persona non grata the next. Why? Because
he
dared to defend the dogma of the Church,
extra ecclesiam nulla salus, when
it was "politically incorrect" to do so, especially in Boston, MA, where he was
evangelizing for "the conversion of America."
And that was an entire decade before Vatican II. You see, the wiles of false
ecuмenism, part of the unclean spirit, the mystery of iniquity, was already at work
in the highest offices of the Church. They were already diligently trying to keep
the Third Secret of Fatima concealed and OUT OF THE MINDS of the faithful. It was
a very big job, for all the Marian clubs and weekly Rosary meetings and home
visitations of Our Lady of Fatima kept the hope alive that by 1960 the Secret would
be revealed. And that was AFTER the whole world had quietly set aside the dogma
of EENS. These were two of the three things that had to be done before
Vatican II could take place. The third thing was to get Angelo Roncalli to speak the
words, "I would be John."
For it was John who would then do the next 3 things: he would convoke Vatican II
for no good reason, he would give the essential speech of October 11th, 1962, and
he would elevate Giovanni Montini to Cardinal.
And then it was Paul VI who would do the next 4 things: he kept the abominable
Council going (even after John XXIII had cried to stop it on his deathbed), he
abolished the Oath Against Modernism (substituting a useless pledge of fidelity),
changed the form of consecration of bishops in 1968, and finally, allowed the fowl
stream of new liturgy
(Novus Ordo) to flood the earth with a vengeance.
We are responsible to know this story. We should be prepared, so we can hold
our grandchildren on our knee and tell it convincingly. It is a true story, and one
that can be told with confidence. And if we do not tell it to our grandchildren, they
will learn lies from elsewhere, for the spirit of the world is at WAR with this true
story, and the spirit of the world is everywhere now in these days: it is a black
fog covering the earth, which began as the smoke of satan in the Church. Pope
Paul VI mentioned it, but he neglected to explain, that it was he who lit the fire!
