A Tuxedo for Frankenstein by Most Rev. Donald J. Sanborn (2019)
Recently the camp of the Novus Ordo conservatives, or neocons, as they are commonly called, seems to have descended into a panic. Up to now they have bent over backwards to maintain the principle that Vatican II did not change anything substantial in the Catholic Faith.
While they may prefer pre-Vatican II rites and ceremonies, they refuse to call what has come out of Vatican II a new and false religion, as we call it. Consequently we have seen over the years mostly an ostrich approach to anything that seems to contradict this thesis of theirs.
As you know from my past newsletters, continuity of Catholic doctrine, Catholic liturgy, and Catholic disciplines is essential and critical to the Church’s very nature as an organization founded by Christ and assisted by Christ until the end of time. Therefore finding continuity since Vatican II has been the source of a lot of angst among traditionalists of all kinds.
