Vol. 1 of 11 on the analysis of Vatican II

This volume shows you how ambiguity in the official texts of Vatican II opened the door for progressivist interpretations. And how Progressivism then installed itself in the Catholic Church. It is a carefully written, authoritative book about the Council and its aftermath. And has extensive footnotes and bibliography.

A superb, scholarly analysis of Vatican II

This book (one of a series by the author on Vatican II) focuses on the AMBIGUITY that permeates the Council documents and explains how that ambiguity has opened the door to interpretations radically opposed to the perennial teachings of the Catholic Church.The author explains how a group of "new theologians" orchestrated an amazing take-over of the Council, completely discarding all the preparatory work and establishing their own radical ideas as the foundation for the final documents. The traditional Council members were caught off guard, and while they strongly opposed the radicals, they were not organized or prepared to fight effectively.This is an ice-cold presentation of all the facts, meticulously documented with abundant quotations and references. Shocking and disturbing, but a must-read for anyone wanting to know the true story behind Vatican Council II and its aftermath.
