Winnowing of wheat continues apace
The Council of Jerusalem or Apostolic Council c. AD 50, considered by Catholics and Orthodox to be a prototype and forerunner of the later ecumenical councils:
“For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us [...].” - Acts 15:28 (RSVCE).
Roberto de Mattei:
“The Holy Spirit nonetheless did not raise His voice against Communism. Therefore many historians and theologians are right, from Monsignor Gherardini to Cardinal Brandmüller, when they say the magisterial value and the binding authority of the conciliar texts has still all to be discussed, without excluding the idea that many of those documents might end up one day in the rubbish bin. But what is more important is that the Second Vatican Council is a historical event which cannot be reduced to muddled and ambiguous texts. Its distinctive note is the spirit which moved it: a spirit whereby, the way in which doctrine had to be presented to the faithful was more important than the doctrine itself.”…More

The Council of Jerusalem and the following ecumenical councils gathered because of doctrinal problems to be decided. Dearly beloved by Commies (Metz agreement) and Jews (Strasburg talks of Fr. Congar) pope Roncalli convoked VII because he had wanted to. Then almost all schemas prepared by papal preparatory commissions got lost because the spirit of Alfrink, Koenig, Suenens, etc. wanted them in the trash can. Previous ecumenical councils taught as the extraordinary Magisterium , VII expressly resigned from the role of the extraordinary Magisterium (and the ecumenical council as such is extraordinary teaching body). Also the matters involved and discussed: heretic sects as sources of salvation, false religions, liberty of false religions, new world order and so do not pertain to oikumene i.e. the Catholic church thus are not ecumenical in the traditional meaning.
Ideas discussed were anything but orthodox and the mess arising was enormous e.g. as young bishop Karol Wojtyla remarked (but did not draw logical conclusions): it seemed to the founding fathers that the situation of men inside the Church with respect to salvation is much worse than the situation of men outside the Church who did not know the Church.Yes they were that insane.

- A constant questioning of Dogma / vague & ambiguous wording for 'teachings' that leave interpretation up to the reader instead of defining something.
- Continued push for women's ordination (after the door to this has already closed)
- female altar boys (this is the first place a young man can discern if he has a call to the priesthood. You are limiting the recruiting pool by sticking girls there)
- Doubt of Our Lady's role as Co-Redemptrix & downplay her importance in our salvation.
- 'God wills multiple religions'/completely contradicts the First Commandment/dogma & what sacred scripture says
- Amazon idolatry/the desecration of the Catholic altar in the Vatican
- Confusion among the faithful
- Less children being born into the world & the ones that are born are rarely receiving all the sacraments
- People leaving the church in droves
I didn't bother including the sodomite scandals, to include trying to normalize sodomite unions, in there as St. Peter Damien had to deal with sodomites also. So, that vice has been in the church prior to V2.
There's obviously more that that. The Holy Ghost did guide that council. He guided them NOT to dare try to invoke infallibility.

The Spirit of Vatican II is the Holy Spirit, the same Spirit in all of the Church’s Ecumenical Councils and in the Council of Jerusalem. It is blasphemous to say this Spirit is evil.

JPII is officially a Catholic saint, btw. Just like Athanasius. Saints, are neither perfect nor without sin, nor without errors. Like always, you're just picking one saint you like because he was anti-Semitic. Good for you, bunky. Saint JPII wasn't and he was a Pope, too.

We will know a tree by the fruit. The evil bishops at V2 got what they wanted. They praised Muhammadans, Hinduism and other pagan cults. The rotten fruit this helped produce was JP2 worshipping with demonic pagans: "Pope John Paul II and the representatives of the world’s religions, including a Crow Indian medicine man from Montana and an African animist witch doctor, pledged Monday to work for peace." -LA Times

Also, the Holy Spirit does NOT lead in works that might end up in the rubbish bin.

The heretics who influenced Vatican II denied the Holy Trinity. They do not have God as Father or the Church as Mother.
In fact they are persecuting the Catholic Church from within.

Two questions:

2. Sacrosanctum Concilium, the Vat II document on the liturgy, says that the Divine Office is to be revised so that all the psalms, previously said in a week, were to be distributed over a longer time. (now 4 weeks). It allowed for no exceptions.
The problem is that Benedict's Holy Rule mandates the use of a weekly cycle of the psalms. Any monastery of Benedictines, Trappists, or (certain) Camaldolese is obligated to cover all 150 psalms in a week (the Rule calls it opus dei).
So should these monasteries have continued to follow Benedict's Rule or Vat II? BTW, most followed VatII--and their houses have been emptying for 50 years.
