Book Overview
Crisis magazine called this book:
"The clearest and most comprehensive argument against the theological dissenters ever written."
This riveting book will show you why the Church has been in crisis since the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) -- and what must be done about it.
Dr. Ralph McInerny here reveals the causes of the devastation in the Church. You'll discover that Vatican II didn't:
Teach a new FaithDo away with TraditionSet up a new, democratic ChurchGive Catholics permission to disagree with the Church in the name of conscience.Read this dramatic narrative to learn how the council was hijacked and how interpretation of its decrees has been controlled since then by Catholics with an agenda different from what the council taught. Best of all, you'll learn from Ralph McInerny what must be done now to take back the council and the Church.
Among the many eye-opening things you'll learn:
