583 - Oct 1991 - France and the revival of traditional Catholicism, Dr Geoffrey Hull
Churches and chapels where the immemorial Mass is offered by priests of the late Archbishop Lefebvres Society of St Pills X or under the 1984 Indult are generally well-attended whereas the more numerous parish churches and cathedrals given over to the Novus Ordo liturgy of Vatican II are more often than not close to empty even in former bastions of religious practice like Brittany and Alsace.
584 - Oct 1991 - The priesthood: one layman's view, B.A. Santamaria
If this is so the resultant task is more complex and more difficult than simply redressing the problems which arose after Vatican II.

Teilhard de Chardin whose The Phenomenon of Man was published in English in 1959 on the very eve of Vatican II.

Newman may rightly be called the father of Vatican II.
588 - Aug 1990 - Editorial: Dissent in Catholic academia is 'out' says Vatican Instruction, B.A. Santamaria
The leadership and theological faculties of most American Catholic universities and other higher education institutions have been in the forefront of dissent since Vatican II.

590 - Apr 1990 - Architects of failure on the offensive: US theologians 'pan' new Catechism, Michael Gilchrist
It is ironic that certain theologians who have contributed to the Churchs doctrinal and catechetical shambles since Vatican II should now be seeking to discredit the universal Catechism and to thwart serious attempts to undo the chaos largely of their own making.
591 - Mar 1990 - Parish assemblies - pluralism or brainwashing?, Michael Gilchrist
Where Vatican II explicitly confirmed Jesus established a hierarchical Church in which authority came from above the Parish Assembly - to judge from the following case study - is based on a participatory model where authority is supposed in theory to come from below.
592 - Mar 1990 - New Zealand: tensions between Rome and the Bishops, John Kennedy OBE
In it layman Des Swain assails the Curia and snidely puts John Paul II down while those who urge the Church to hasten slowly and to apply the true spirit of Vatican II are written off as blind traditionalists opposed to the freedom and growth of the individual.
593 - Mar 1990 - 'Being church': manipulating language to change meaning, Fr Peter J. Elliott
But it fails to convey the true mystery of the Church set out by Vatican II.
594 - Feb 1990 - Books: Archbishop Oscar Romero: a modern martyr - 'Romero: a Life', by James Brockman, Paul Gray
For guidance he took the statements of the Churchs bishops at Vatican II Medellin and Puebla where the principle of standing with the poor was made explicit.
595 - Feb 1990 - A Tale of Two Universities, Dr Ralph McInerny, Dr Alan Schreck
I have argued elsewhere and earlier that theologian has become hopelessly equivocal as between what Vatican II and other magisterial documents mean by the term and the sense it must have to cover those who hold positions in our departments of theology.
596 - Nov 1989 - Thomas More and today's crisis in faith and morals, John Finnis
To the extent that the Churchs magisterium clings to a different conception of revelation and therefore reasserts the old doctrine including moral doctrines in the very sense and with the same meaning that they had in the tradition - eodem sensu eadem sententia: see I Corinthians 1:10 (Vulgate); More Dialogue Concerning Heresies II 9; Vatican II Gaudium et Spes 62 - to that extent the magisterium is a less truthful witness to revelation than is the consensus theologorum the consensus of those theologians who reflect contemporary Christian experience and articulate it directly to and for contemporary Catholics thereby correcting the magisterium (partly expressly and mainly by extensive omissions and tacit negations).
597 - Oct 1989 - Catholicism at the crossroads, Michael Gilchrist
Not only are basic problems being overlooked; we are also witnessing attempts to legitimise a new model of Catholicism based on questionable theological opinions and one-sided interpretations of Vatican II and papal documents.
598 - Sep 1989 - Three problems for Catholic schools, Michael Gilchrist
The Final Report of the Extraordinary Synod of Bishops in Rome held in 1985 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the conclusion of Vatican II treated the crisis in catechesis the transmission of the faith in Catholic schools in particular as worldwide: Everywhere on earth today the transmission to the young of the faith and the moral values deriving from the Gospel is endangered .
599 - Jul 1989 - Making a revolution by changing the meaning of words, Frank Mobbs

The background notes for this are quite extensive beginning with the statement: Until Vatican II unanimity in Catholic Church in regard to historicity.
602 - Nov 1988 - The issues facing Australian Catholicism, Bishop George Pell
Morale is regularly good in Catholic parishes despite concern for our young people and for the decline in vocations because most of the reforms since Vatican II have widespread approval and the doubling of the absolute numbers of Catholics in the twenty years before 1970 have masked the percentage decline in practice.
603 - Jul 1988 - Growth of a 'new church': the Dutch experiment, Michael Gilchrist
Those who regarded Vatican II as merely the launching pad for a Brave New Church look upon the Dutch experience as the wave of the future; at the other extreme orthodox Catholics see what happened in Holland as nothing less than a second Reformation.
604 - May 1988 - Cardinal Ratzinger: defender of the Faith, Andrew Greenwich

606 - Apr 1988 - A kingdom divided in itself, B.A. Santamaria
Murrays descriptions of Australian Catholicism in February 1988: Many Catholics of course are quite unaware of what is in the Vatican II documents but the use of the vernacular in the liturgy the saying of Mass facing the people the reading of lessons by lay men and women the administration of communion by lay people and the very general abandonment of distinctive dress by clergy and religious are visible signs of dramatic post-Vatican II change .
