Regardless of how you view Vatican II, the facts are undeniable: it didn't work.

It failed because of a single fatal flaw. Instead of converting the world to Roman Catholicism, Vatican II tried to adapt Roman Catholicism to the modern world. Its main proponents had lost the faith in an infallible, indefectible Church, reducing her to a naturalistic, rationalistic, and merely human institution.

By their fruits you shall know them: loss of the faith, apostasy, indifferentism, rebellion against dogma, secularization, and a sentimental, Protestantized religion.

Mainstream Catholicism today is no longer a serious religion. It keeps the Catholic label and a faint Catholic flavor, but it has lost the Catholic substance.

The only way back to sanity is to return to Pre-Vatican II Roman Catholicism. There is no other solution.

Exactly. The present crisis in the Church will be overcome by prayer, patience, and perseverance in denouncing Vatican II, making our pleas with determination, and working diligently for the full restoration of the Catholic Faith, while never losing trust in God.

Selfishness, injustice, and evil are not overcome by brutality, but by prayer, patience, and perseverance in denouncing what is wrong, by making our pleas with determination and working diligently to bring about the necessary changes, while never losing trust in God. #ApostolicJourney #Peru

They aimed at transforming Roman Catholicism, and according to outward appearances, they succeeded. Yet because the Catholic Church is indefectible, both the Faith and her juridical element remain. While the integral Faith endures in the remnant, the Modernist usurpers—though stripped of formal authority—still keep the material side of the Church going.

The purpose of Vatican 2, the real purpose, was to neutralize the power of the Church in the temporal order so that modern, secular liberalism, i.e., the post-Christian order, could finally dominate unopposed.

It was an absolute success.

It was not about renewal; it was about evisceration.

Why did the modern world declare war on traditional Catholic liturgy and architecture?

Because when man kneels before the majesty of the High Altar, he remembers he belongs to Christ the King—not the State, not the world, and not the spirit of the age.

Restore all things in Christ.
