A Tie: Icon of Vatican II Has Died

Retired Victoria Bishop Remi De Roo, 97, the last surviving anglophone Canadian bishop who participated in Vatican II died February 1.

Vatican II secularised him, turned him into a left-wing activist, fighter against celibacy, proponent of female ordinations, and hero of the anti-Catholic “Call to Action.”

His trademark, the tie, made him look like a banker but after his 1999 retirement, a $17 million debt caused by disastrous investments was discovered.

Vancouver Archbishop Miller cracked a joke by saying that De Roo will be remembered as one of the fathers of Vatican II, “an ecclesial event that was a great grace for the church (sic!).”

DeRoo was a favorite out here in Hawaii with Fr. George DeCosta, a defrocked homosexual predator and kingpin liberal of the Diocese of Honolulu during the reign of fellow traveler Bishop Ferrario. DeRoo would be brought out to brag about his VII experiences, and then enlighten the fawning Progressives with his Enneagram expertise. A veritable Linda Goodman Sun Signs kind of guy.

A sad legacy indeed.

If I remember correctly, reading about the Church as often as I do, DeRoo was among the most radical and liberal of the Canadian bishops, That picture of him in lay clothes is a disgrace. He would have made a great Protestant pastor or one of their so called "bishops". He missed his calling and religion. He should have been a Protestant. So should have Pope Francis, and Cardinal Marx et al.

I do believe that's an insult to plenty of Protestants.....! What a bunch - I no longer wonder why I always felt distinctly uncomfortable in the N.O. and totally confused in senior school, which seemed to be teaching a different religion to the one I'd been reared in and still was in at home. More and more I realize that it wasn't me who was confused!

There was a Call to Action conference, probably about 12 or so years ago, where he concelebrated with a bunch of giant paper maché puppets. I’m sure there is video of it around. A real hero, indeed.

There's a connection between the Council documents and the woes that followed; after all, it was the same hierarchy who approved the documents that implemented them.

Most of those Council bishops were faithful Catholics, after all, msot were appointed by the great Pope Pius XII, but there were a few hundred or so (Canada, some USA, French,Germans,Dutch) who were radicals, and they unfortunatly got the ear of John XXIII and Paul VI especially, and manipulated the Council to its radical conclusion. Believe it or not, within weeks of his death, John XXIII was having serious misgivinging about the Council in general, and worried that he had made a grevious mistake. He originally wanted the Council to last about 6 weeks, and be a re-presenting of orthodox, traditionalist Catholicism, but the agenda (Schema) for the council was hijacked by the liberals, and by then, realizing that he was dying, John XXIII didn't have the will to get rid of them, Of course, when he died and Paul VI came in....the liberals won the day.
