This is a second article of interest today. It is detailed enough that I placed it as a separate link . The questioner has an excellent comment. Fr. John then tries to get to the details of the matter which are not simple. It is worthy of note as a starting point for a LONG discussion.

For those who are interested, EWTN has a 3-day special with Ralph McInerny at 6:00 AM to 6:30 AM EDT on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday entitled "What Went Wrong With Vatican II." On Thursday during the same time slot, Fr. Gould of the Arlington Diocese will discuss Mount Saint Mary's Seminary and seminary formation . PDT is also posted. No mention as to a re-schedule of this series.

Carl Olson posts a link to a fascinating article on "The Renewal of Vatican II: Distractions and Distortions" by Douglas Bushman . It is a long article, but well worth reading carefully. Here is a short snip from the opening paragraphs: Seemingly widely diverse, these examples have something in common; they are visible and institutional changes. Observable changes such as these naturally draw our attention; they are the first things we notice. The Council, however, did not see changes as ends in themselves, but as means to something higher. The challenge is to look beyond them, or through them, to discover that more profound reality. Such a "looking beyond" is natural for Catholic faith, which perceives the Son of God in Jesus of Nazareth, and the bestowal of grace in the visible signs we call sacraments. What is that more profound reality? It is holiness, as unchanging in its nature as doctrine, the essence of the sacraments, and the hierarchical constitution

Dr. Jeff Mirus comments on an article in Commonweal on clerical morale written by a priest from the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, Fr. Paul Stanosz . Mirus' article appears on the site, Catholic Culture . The essay responding to Fr. Stanosz' observations hits hard and raises deep issues. For example, Mirus says this: What are we to make of an article which, in the process of concluding that there is nothing to be done, displays such an animus against precisely those spiritual solutions which have ever been at the heart of a vibrant Catholicism? What does it all mean? That’s the question which makes the article so fascinating, the question to which it is critical to understand the answer. For what it all means is that the Milwaukee mindset is so far gone in its sins that the only way open is despair. The so-called spirit of Vatican II which has wielded such a terrible power for the past forty years was nothing more than a euphoric baptism of secular utopianism. After such a lon
