With +Vigano being excommunicated not only for his opposition to Francis, but for "refusing to accept Vatican II" begs the question: is a Catholic required to assent to Vatican II in toto? People want/need to know. I used to hold the viewpoint of Benedict XVI and others that the council was good - just the post-conciliar period was horrible due to the invoking of the "spirit of Vatican 2" to affirm all kinds of errors. Now I am leaning to believe that the texts themselves of the council are bad. It's not for nothing that Francis is someone who has been entirely formed in that time and those teachings

The Holy Office certainly intended for it to be a dogmatic council, as evidenced by their schema. They thought that they were completing the work that was so rudely interrupted 90+ years earlier. It can certainly be questioned whether John XXIII was of the same mind. Once the schema was rejected (which was immediate), the council should have been called off. There is no doubt that it is the “super dogma (in Ratzinger’s words)” adhered to by the majority of the hierarchy. As far as the texts go, everything innovative is expressed very ambiguously. Louie Verrecchio wrote a column showing three passages of Dignitatis humanae which directly contradict 3 passages of Pascendi.

What does he have against hatred? St. Thomas Aquinas taught us very well when and who we should hate. "Have I not hated them, O Lord, that hated thee: and pine away because of thy enemies? I have hated them with a perfect hatred: and they are become enemies to me." (Ps. 139, 21-22).

It's indisputable: Pope Paul VI was the worst nightmare that the Church has ever experienced in living memory. He was the arsonist that ignited the blazing, all-consuming firestorm we continue to suffer from and fight against to this very day — in every domain of the Church's life, bar none. It was Paul VI who unleashed the monsters from the abyss upon the Spouse of Christ, and watched impotently as the creatures he gave life to seized her in their rabid, ravenous, dagger-toothed, froth-filled maws, seeking to tear her flesh and rend her apart limb from limb, and swallow whole that which was left. Without doubt or question, it was Paul VI who did the most irreparable, unrecoverable and incalculable damage to the Church, the agonizing effects of which have tortured generations of the Faithful from his own Pontificate to the current one. Francis is his scion, who came forth from his ideological and theological loins and carries his spiritual DNA, and is only enacting upon the edicts of …More
Is the real source of all this chaos in the Church Vatican II? What does it mean to say that Church councils are "works of the Holy Spirit" - especially when one seems to upend Sacred Tradition?

Now "Justin" sports a buttoned Oxford shirt and slacks, rather than a Roman cassock He claims: ""No, I have never been a priest, a deacon, a bishop, or held any official role in the Catholic Church. I am a lay theologian, which means I've dedicated my life to studying and understanding our faith.." Insanity!!

Quote: "The New Lent swims in the waters of a vapid Catholicism which sees no difference in religions, miniaturizes doctrine, flattens the saintly pinnacles of perfection, and casts an embarrassing shrug at the erstwhile harsh disciplines of the Old Lent.

I just found a 2018 case out of Illinois where a court agreed that it was reasonable to pull someone over because the cop thought there was something unlawfully obstructing the driver’s view, which turned out to be a rosary hanging from the mirror. The case said that the rosary was not sufficient probable cause to search the vehicle, however. I would be surprised if any court would accept simply wearing rosaries as reasonable suspicion that a crime was committed. I suppose it could be different at a border crossing, but we don’t actually stop anyone from crossing the border these days.
