All this would not have happened if it was not for Vat. II.
1963 was NOT a good year for the RC Church.
The 1960s were NOT good years for the world. Almost all the ills of the world which now trouble us had their genesis in the 1960s.
I'm always baffled by those who feel nostalgia for those years. Those were horrible times and I would not want to relive them.
