Oh, these 'time-bombs...'

The enemies of the Church encouraged...

On the communist question...

A nice small chapter on infallibility, and the declared lack of general infallibility in the documents of the second Vatican council. Yes, declared the author, infallible truth is contained therein, but that degree is achieved in previous authoritative teaching by the supreme apostolic authority. The bishops at the Council were notably reluctant to define anything dogmatically.

And here's the ecumania bit: appeasing the protestant to the maximum.

The use of the liberal press _within_ the Council. Extraordinary.

The 'timebombs.'

The perfidy of the council 'experts,' especially the later-condemned Father Küng.

The sabotage of the German bishops. This is all so very interesting, and not well known at all. Vatican II was a battle supreme between the old Italian guard and the attack force from Northern Europe.
