Thank you for validating something that I came to advocate many years ago. I now have the names of scholars and a Cardinal to back it up.
I think there is not enough emphasis upon Pope Paul VI putting an end to the Papal Coronation. This was for me a sign to the world that the Catholic Papacy was abdicating its authority and power. The words are: Receive the Tiara adorned with three crowns and know that you are Father of princes and kings, the Ruler of the world, The Vicar of Our Savior Jesus Christ on earth, to whom be all honor and glory, world without end.
Have any of the Popes since carried any real authority or power since?
Another point: the breakdown of morality and the family was precipitated by the breakdown of the Clergy and Religious Life of Women, who broke their vows and left God for worldly ambitions. This led to the breakdown of Sacramental Marriage as the Vow was replaced by the "promise" and in short order annulments.
I do not fully blame the Catholic Church for all this horror, the rebellion since 1517 has persecuted God in His Mystical Body to the point that: "Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, He gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done." Romans 1:28
Notre Dame from 1983 until John Cavadini was basically Catholic modernism. Fr. David Burrell was removed as chair, Fr. Richard McCormick replaced Stan Hauerwas as primary ethicist; Paul Bradshaw headed up the liturgy program. Catholic became an ethnic designation. Hesburgh implemented his Land of Lake statement. Would all this had happened without Vatican II? Probably not in this manner. David Schindler was not in the Department of Theology but in the Program of Liberal Arts. The 19th Century Catholic Tubingen school was all the rage. Americanism rules the roost.
Exactly. Vatican II was the sign and occasion for all of this "rethinking" to explode. If it had not happened, there would still have been dissent and nonsense, but it would have been bridled and somehow stigmatized.
Overall the faculty communicated that JPII was either irrelevant or retracting Vatican II reforms. Van Balthasar was not read nor de Lubac. Robert Wilken was made uncomfortable for being ‘Protestant’ - though he was in process of joining communion with Rome. I have a story I will tell about Schillibeex and Hans Kung when I have more space. They hired junior scholars well overall but the senior hires were all ‘spirit of VII’ thinkers. Chair Richard McBrien spent his time trying to get Mario Cuomo to become President.
Paul VI did offer a solemn Ambrosian Rite Mass early in Vatican II, that precursor and herald of the madness late 60s and later, but the de-facto suppression of the Mass, where his chief liturgist Mgsr Bugnini supported a worldwide Heenan style Indult, was by his fiat. If the Church was to junk Latin and its venerable devotion, then surely everything should be questioned? That would seem a bit demonic, but unfortunately reasonable. This pastor was himself a liturgical radical while apparently upholding the forms in his Milanese archdiocese. Closing the Pandora's Box Paul opened is something barely begun.

Pope Paul VI was a CIA operative from WWII on …
Yes
Do you have any proof of that?

Hi Roseanne,

Vatican II was the triumph of the embedded antichrist-ites.
Full stop.
I noticed that the bishops abandoned rating movies.
