One of the most damning critiques of the Second Vatican Council is that it deviates so significantly from established doctrine and practice that it cannot, in good conscience, be accepted as Catholic.
Amen. From my understanding, there was no valid reason for calling Vatican II. It was not necessary and because of this the only purpose, intended or not, was to play into the modernist hands.
The Church as already defined that an Ecumenical Council is prevented from teaching ANY errors on faith and morals. Thus, if a council teaches something that is erroneous, then 1) it is NOT an Ecumenical Council, and 2) is not part of the Magisterium. V2 teaches error, and thus cannot be an Ecumenical Council, not can it be considered part of the Magisterium...
Despite Paul VI bemoaning the negative effects of the changes I believe that the crocodile tears were just that. The outcome was the intended outcome. I can't believe he didn't read Pope Pius X warnings concerning modernising the faith.
We were warned what the enemies of the Church were planning and despite the clear warnings they went ahead with their diabolical changes and then pretend they could never have seen the outcome.
Pope St Pius X told us how to deal with these modernists. When they vomit out ambiguity as if they aren't sure what the perennial teachings are and in one page uphold them and in the very next page dismantle them , we hold them to their heretical interpretation and refuse to comply with it.
When they fill their new sacraments with ambiguous forms (and in some cases matter) to the extent that doubt arises to their very validity, then just apply St Pius X remedy. Assume their destructive intent and treat them as invalid.
Crocodile tears in spades! Cardinal Suenens said in a moment of triumphant Freemasonic ecstasy:
“Vatican II is the French Revolution in the Church … One cannot understand the French or Russian Revolutions unless one knows something of the old regimes which they brought to an end … It is the same in Church affairs: a reaction can only be judged in relation to the state of things that preceded it.”
Vatican II was the overthrow of the Vatican I Monarchial Papacy and with it the dogma of Extra Ecclesia Nulla Salus. The thing that inhabits the Vatican today is truly the Church of the French Revolution not the One, Holy Roman Catholic Church.
You've summarized the problems very well. Three other destructive errors come to mind:
- endorsement of a "dual covenant" theory implicitly stating that the Jews do not have to accept the Gospel, contrary to multiple early Church Fathers who recognized that they are the group furthest from God (still living on today as Rome constantly bemoans supposed "antisemitism")
- stripping the liturgical calendar of multiple beloved saints (Philomena, Christopher, Barbara) because not enough "evidence" existed for their lives (reflects a mindset of scientism which has only grown stronger in the Church)
- "Dei Verbum" and its ambiguous language that has caused the majority of both clergy and faithful to claim Sacred Scripture is actually erroneous in some areas and that it only is authoritative in strict matters of faith and morals. Now we have a Church that largely doesn't believe in Adam and Eve as two real people and doubts the historicity of the great flood, the Exodus, and many of Christ's miracles.
As you stated, by all measures the Council has been a complete disaster. As a Byzantine Catholic, the only good thing about V2 was that if commanded the Eastern Churches to reclaim their ancient and authentic patrimony.
Amen. From my understanding, there was no valid reason for calling Vatican II. It was not necessary and because of this the only purpose, intended or not, was to play into the modernist hands.
It's purpose was to provide Modernists cover for their heresies. Pope St. Pius X identified that in Pascendi.

This is a brilliant synthesis of the problems Vatican II poses vis-a-vis traditional Catholicism.
I highly recommend “Work of Human Hands” by Fr Cekada
