Vatican II: The Real History
From 1962 to 1965, the Catholic Church experienced a revolutionary period known as the Second Vatican Council (Vatican II). Pope John XXIII famously sought to “open the windows” of the Church to allow fresh air in. However, in the aftermath of the Council, many Catholics have been left wondering whether the Church and faith have fundamentally changed into something else. The podcast "Vatican II: The Real History" aims to address these important questions clearly and objectively, with a strong emphasis on the historical context leading up to the Council. Covering events from the 1789 French Revolution to the conclusion of Vatican II in 1965, the podcast provides a detailed narrative that encompasses the politics, theology, philosophy, and intrigue involved in the formation and conduct of the Council. This podcast will differ from typical religious-oriented shows. Listeners will be taken beyond the conventional perspectives that many in modern hierarchy would prefer to present about Vatican II, while still respectfully honoring the timeless traditions and teachings of the Catholic Church. ¡Viva Cristo Rey!
Episodes
With private judgment replacing Tradition, the sacramental Church and the ministerial priesthood come under attack from the Lutheran revolt, which is strengthened by John Calvin.
Nominalism rejects universal truths to focus on individual particulars that can only be grasped through internal, personal understanding. This outlook shaped both the Franciscan William Ockham and eventually Martin Luther. These ideas laid groundwork for the Protestant Revolt and later revolutions within the Church.
Kabbalah and its Christian counterparts seek knowledge of God beyond traditional notions of Divine Revelation. The incorporation of Kabbalistic ideas into Christianity has driven revolutions against the Church.
Gnosticism, associated with figures like Marcion and the Albigensians, is characterized by three core principles: dualism, the divinization of man, and knowledge as redemption. These ideas plague the Church down to the present time.
Since the time of Christ, Gnosticism has persistently attacked the Church and Ultimate Reality. It infiltrated Vatican II through Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and others. In this first part of our exploration of Gnosticism, we examine the first Gnostic, Simon Magus, and the founding mythology of this destructive heresy.
Before Vatican II, the Church emphasized the importance of teaching St. Thomas Aquinas in pursuit of ultimate Truth. To grasp the revolutionary attacks on the Church, it is essential to have a basic understanding of St. Thomas’s ideas on how we come to know Truth.
We begin the dive into the historical context necessary to understanding Vatican II, emphasizing the importance of understanding French history and its relationship with the Church. It highlights the Church's role in medieval society, especially its sacramental and hierarchical social order.
A personal journey back in time kicks off the podcast as we dive into the revolutionary impact of Vatican II on the Catholic Church. In this episode, the changes in rites, devotions, and practices resulting from the Council will be focused on.
Welcome to Vatican II: The Real History. The journey to uncovering the real history and stories behind the Second Vatican Council begins.
