It is common knowledge that since the revolution of Vatican II, the enemies of God, through their words and deeds, have worked tirelessly to destroy the Catholic Faith. Through teachings contrary to the Faith of our Fathers, through revolutionary changes in the liturgy, and through false interreligious dialogue, they have accomplished the wildest dreams of all those who, for centuries, have conspired to destroy the Church of the Incarnate Word.
They attacked the Faith at the Second Vatican Council by substantially changing the holy doctrine of the Church. They attacked the sacraments and, in particular, the rites of priestly ordination and episcopal consecration. They transformed the Mass, turning it into a Protestant worship service. They perverted canon law, traditional devotions, and all the other treasures of the Holy Church.
To make these great evils worse still, it may be said without fear of being mistaken that these enemies of God have found help in their efforts from every successive pretender to the papacy since Vatican II. With the help of the official hierarchy, they have established a new Church about which it is legitimate to ask whether it is indeed the Church founded by Jesus Christ and perpetuated by the Apostles and their successors. Are we dealing with a new sect, totally foreign to the Church of God? The Church of Vatican II professes a naturalistic and humanistic religion based on indifferentism and preaching a false ecumenism and a false religious liberty. All sincere Catholics will agree. The words, teachings, official texts, and actions of many modern prelates contradict the infallible magisterium of the 260 popes who preceded the Second Vatican Council and of all the General Councils of the Catholic Church.
“The most crafty enemies have filled the Church, the spouse of the Immaculate Lamb, with bitterness, and have made her drunk with wormwood; upon all her precious things they have laid impious hands. Where the See of the most blessed Peter and the Chair of Truth stand, established as a light to the nations, there they have set up the throne of their abomination and impiety; that, the Shepherd having been struck, they may be able to scatter the flock.” [1]
