50 priests, scholars, journalists, and Catholic leaders published an Open Letter to Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò and Bishop Athanasius Schneider, thanking them for their recent statements in which they discuss some problems of the Second Vatican Council's documents that might need a further evaluation and correction. The renewed debate about Vatican II has been criticized by Cardinal Brandmüller. Dr. Taylor Marshall explains the problem texts in Vatican 2, and the three positions on how to move forward from there. As a lot of us did 50+ years ago.

None of this is new. We became critical of the liturgical changes that followed in its wake, which we argued were a result of distortions and misreading's of the Council's mandates for liturgical reform. It started what were called Traditional Catholics. The volumes that go over these "time bombs" in the documents of the Second Vatican Council's documents were documented by Michael Davies in the 1970's in his three volume set (and other books he wrote.) And he was not alone. These document errors and the hierarchy actions caused the formation of the SSPX and many other Traditionalist.
It is amazing they think this is new. We knew about this as the Council came to its end and the documents were read. But we had to do this in lectures, articles, books and seminars. These books come out now when it is safe. We are glad they finally join us and reiterate what we spoke and wrote of fifty plus years ago. While for almost fifty years we have been shouting these errors from the roof tops.
(In the early seventies we called Dr. Marshall's 'Land Mine' as 'Time Bombs!')
Even the Popes did not recognize this council as a valid council.Just listen to how the council was closed. And not one Pope has made an infallible statement in its support.
May God bless you all!
