How do we know any "truths" of the Catholic Faith? There are plenty of things about the Church today I wish were like they used to be, however, I can't see the logic behind the most drastic anti-Vatican II attacks.

Vatican II was a council, in the traditional fashion, of all the bishops united with the Pope. If they can teach such errors as some claim, how do you know that previous councils did not do the same? Part of being Catholic means you are humble enough to admit you don't know everything and trust that the Apastolic successors will be protected by the Holy Spirit in teaching the Truth.

Alot of externals have changed over the centuries, and in my opinion not always for the better, but as long as core doctrine still stands (which I believe it always will) I will grumble, but certainly not get schismatic. I'm not going to try to be 'more Catholic' than the Pope :-?
