The Catholic Church was going strong on nearly every front before Vatican II, so why the need for it?
It seems the Catholic Church was infiltrated by those wanting to diminish the influence of it.
They have largely succeeded, by every measurement, the Catrholic Church has been in decline since.
Many priests and nuns left and Mass attendance has been on the decline since.
Before Vatican II, Mass attendance was over 75 percent, now it is 20 to 30 percent, depending on the survey.
And a recent survey found that 70 percent of Catholics don't believe in the True Presence, the foundation of the Catholic Faith, along with the Mass.
The infiltrators have succeeded beyond their dreams. And so many churches have closed.
And the current disastrous Pope, Pope Francis continues to pour gasoline on the fire.
He seems to want to get rid of of the concept of swin, as his recent Fiducia Supplicans, that approves sodomy, demonstrates.
The Catholic Church is adrift and in sharp decline.
What is the answer?
It is to return to the true Catholic Faith.
The bishops, including the Pope, should return to teaching the beautiful Catholic Faith.
The dioceses that do that are thriving.
It works every time.
The Latin Mass is growing strong.
So many, including families and young people overall, are drawn to the beauty and sacredness of the Mass of the ages.
Francis has tried to shut it down, though Pope Benedict XVI said it was never abrogated and couldn't be when he issued his Summorum Pontificam that freed up the Latin Mass to be celebrated without approval of the bishops.
The answer is obvious, return to the Catholic Faith.
