Vatican II - The Council That Changed The Church
Episode 1: Introduction to Vatican II
Prior to Vatican II, there has been about 20 previous councils in the history of the Catholic Church that were even more binding to Catholics under the pain of mortal sin; yet for some inexplicable reason; Vatican II which itself did not define any doctrine nor dogma has mysteriously taken up the role of a super dogmatic council above all others. In this introductory episode, we will lay the framework that will expose Vatican II for what it actually is – while inviting you the viewer to see as Faith will allow, if Vatican II represents continuity from the deposit of Faith or a blatant rebellion of Christ’s teachings.
