Part 3. Exercise
Comment: 'It's way past time for the church to take seriously the grand pronouncements of Vatican II that we are all church. '
I'm always amused by this continued adulationdare I call it idolatry?of Vatican II. Actually, Lumen Gentium says, 'The laity shouldPROMPTLY accept in Christian OBEDIENCE decisions of their spiritual shepherds, since they are representatives of Christ as well as teachers and rulers in the Church'.
You see, it wasn't just the liturgy that Vatican II got wrong. It was its extension of the Spirit of Vatican One. Oh, and then there's the incredibly naive view of Islambut that's enough for now.
Answer:
Non-threat
