Not that any more confirmation was needed, but it doesn’t hurt: Yes, Vatican II represents a genuine departure from the Roman Catholic magisterium.
Back in 1976, the Jesuit Fr. Avery Dulles (1918-2008) candidly acknowledged that the Second Vatican Council (1962-65) had contradicted and reversed the prior Catholic magisterium on sundry significant points of doctrine and discipline. This admission is noteworthy because most “orthodox” defenders of the council claim that a “correct interpretation” will show the continuity with prior teaching and debunk the allegations of rupture.… READ MORE
Vatican II in Action: Nigerian Diocese builds Mosque for Muslim Refugees

It is well-known that the members of the Vatican II Sect worship the same god as the Moslems. They say so themselves.

Not that more proof was needed, but it doesn’t hurt: Here is yet another admission by a modernist piece of literature that the doctrine on religious liberty proclaimed by the bogus “Second Vatican Council” in 1964 is in contradiction to the prior Catholic teaching on the confessional state. The snippet above is taken from p. 333 of the book The Diocesan Seminary in the United States: A History from the 1780s to the Present by Joseph M. White (Notre Dame, IN: University of Notre Dame Press, 1989).… READ MORE
Reflections on a 50-Year Vacancy of the Apostolic See
Fifty years ago, around 3:50 am local time on October 9, 1958, His Holiness Pope Pius XII drew his last breath in Rome. At that time, most Catholics surely viewed this as simply an ordinary death of yet another Pope, and though lamentable, a new Pope would surely follow soon, and all would be well.
The last 50 years have proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that such was not the case. At first, everything seemed to go the usual way. The deceased Pope received a solemn funeral, and a conclave to elect his successor was scheduled for October 25.… READ MORE

When has the Vatican II Church ever taught that the goal of interreligious dialogue is the conversion of non-Catholics to Catholicism? Benedict XVI in 2009: "...the need for all those who believe in God to join in seeking peace, to attempt to draw closer to one another, and to
Vatican 'Cardinal' Marcello Semeraro gives talk on 60 years of Vatican II's dogmatic constitution 'Lumen Gentium', says the quiet part out loud when he remarks that the document's teaching that the Church of Christ "subsists in" the Catholic Church "opens the door to recognizing
Murray Rundus nails it: "One can concoct similar statements to the one made by Pope Leo [about 'Christian unity'] but speak of the Abrahamic or monotheistic religions. Would the hierarchy today have had an issue if St. Athanasius wished to avoid the clarification of terminology
