Challenges to Vatican II

Questions Covered:

  • 09:16 - Are Catholics finding it difficult to argue for certain moral issues since the issuance of Vatican II documents that emphasize the primacy of conscience?
  • 17:47 - I think if we followed what the Council said things would be a lot better, and fewer people would receive Communion unworthily.
  • 19:59 - Do you think we can get back to what the documents of the council truly say?
  • 24:15 - If we believe in the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, why did Vatican II change the way of receiving communion to the hand?
  • 32:16 - Why would anyone become Catholic if we teach ecumenism?
  • 35:06 - Why were Protestants involved in Vatican II?
  • 39:10 - How can Lumen Gentium 16 be true since the Muslims deny the Trinity?
  • 45:57 - The faithful never received what the bishops voted on at the Council. So it’s hard to discern the fruits of the council.
  • 49:04 - Why do all the Vatican II popes have all these ecumenical events with other world religions, like the Assisi events, that are explicit violations of the first commandment?
