Harvesting the Fruit of Vatican II

The institution presently in occupation of the Vatican 

is not the Holy Roman Catholic Church, rather, 

it is an imposter church such as theologians, 

saints and mystics have forewarned; 

it is a construct of Our Lord’s avowed Enemy, the Devil. 

 Louie Verrecchio

From Louie' blog, AkaCatholic.com:

"For years, I was warmly welcomed as a presenter in Catholic parishes and dioceses throughout the United States, primarily on the topic of Vatican Council II – delivering talks at large archdiocesan conferences, parish level events, and at workshops designed specifically for deacons and directors of religious education.

...In 2004, I authored and published the Harvesting the Fruit of Vatican II Faith Formation Series. At the time, I believed what the popes have been telling us all along; namely, that the Council documents didn’t change, much less contradict, the doctrines of the faith such as they have always been taught. Rather, our leaders in Rome insisted, the conciliar decrees are nothing less than a gift from the Holy Spirit, if only we would learn to read, interpret and implement them faithfully. [emphasis mine]

As such, the Harvesting the Fruit study guides, which were given an imprimatur, reflected the “hermeneutic of continuity” nearly a decade before Pope Benedict XVI had even coined the phrase! [...] The series (along with its naive author) received written endorsements from no less than George Cardinal Pell, along with any number of other bishops, priests and theologians from around the world.

Fast forward to the present.

Today, I am a pariah in these very same venues; a persona non grata throughout much of the diocesan and mainstream Catholic media world – from liberal to conservative and everywhere in between.

What happened?

I discovered (by the grace of God) that we’ve been misled with respect to the Second Vatican Council and robbed of our rightful Catholic inheritance, both doctrinal and liturgical, ever since.

In other words, I now realize that the conciliar documents, in spite of whatever faithful expressions are to be found therein – the same upon which I focused in the Harvesting the Fruit series – are polluted with ambiguities, contradictions and outright errors: Like an entire lump spoiled by a little leaven, the text of Vatican II, far from being solid nourishment for the soul, is downright poisonous.

As such, I believe that I am duty bound to warn others that accepting the Council whole and entire, as if it’s a gift from Above, will undoubtedly lead to a loss of Catholic faith."
