The document discusses how the Catholic Church was replaced in 1964 by a new Protestantized institution called the Novus Ordo church or Newchurch. It provides a partial list of 60 differences between the traditional Catholic Church and this new institution, such as substituting the Latin Mass with an invalid New Mass, eliminating fasting before communion, and changing the rites of baptism, marriage and ordination. The author argues this proves the Vatican II church is not the true Catholic Church and Catholics should have nothing to do with it.
A factual and balanced, non-judgmental investigation and exploration of certain Roman Catholic Church teachings in light of the Biblical Scriptures. The Difference - the eternal Protestant/Catholic tension - was something that the Chronicles clearly helped to define, and if you are interested in the uncompromising pursuit of truth, I know of no more better, readable and concise introductory work than Keith's series.

Art and Culture - Module 10 - Reformation and Counter-ReformationRandy Connolly
Tenth module for GNED 1201 (Aesthetic Experience and Ideas). This one mainly covers the Reformation and Counter-Reformation of the 16th and early 17th Century. It also covers aesthetic responses to the Reformation, especially Caravaggio and Bernini.
This course is a required general education course for all first-year students at Mount Royal University in Calgary, Canada. My version of the course is structured as a kind of Art History and Culture course. Some of the content overlaps with my other Gen Ed course.
IMHO, you cannot truly understand the history and theology of the modern Catholic Church until you read John O’Malley’s excellent histories, Trent, What Happened at the Council, and What Happened at Vatican II.
Was the Council of Trent a reactionary council? This is a common perception, that the Council of Trent initiated the Catholic Counter-Reformation to defend the Catholic Church from the influences of the Protestant Reformation started by Martin Luther, and that the Vatican II Council was a rejection of Trent, steering the Catholic Church in a more liberal direction. Father O’Malley’s history leads to a different conclusion, that the actual Council of Trent, as opposed to the later impressions of Trent, is really a progressive council that is a precursor to Vatican II. Indeed, the documents of Vatican II and the subsequent Catholic Catechism both cite the Council of Trent extensively.
The post Reformation polemics are to blame for this misunderstanding of the nature of the Council of Trent. In Father O’Malley’s words, “When Pope Pius IV confirmed the council’s decrees, he forbade the printing of commentaries or notes on them without explicit permission of the Holy See.” The Pope really had no choice, the Catholic Church was besieged, had the Pope not restricted access to the minutes of the Council of Trent, protestants would have taken out of context and distorted the debates to discredit the Church. But this prevented balanced scholarship on Trent for four hundred years, until long after Pope Leo XIII opened the Vatican Archives in 1880.

Who should study the Catholic and Lutheran Catechisms? Everyone! Everyone, even if you are neither Catholic nor Lutheran. Everyone who wants to live a godly life should study the Catechism. Both the Lutheran and Catholic Catechisms have sections for the Ten Commandments, the Sacraments, the Lord’s Prayer, and the Creeds. If you ignore the sections in the Large Catechism where Luther curses the Pope and calls him names, studying both the Catholic and Lutheran Catechisms will improve your soul. Vatican II teaches that Catholics can learn from their separated Protestant brothers, which means that Catholics can read Luther.
The Catholic Catechism was reviewed by thousands of bishops before publication, many thousands of suggestions were pondered, more thought and care was invested in the editing of the Catholic Catechism than probably any modern book in print. You ignore this wisdom at your moral peril. These teachings are not merely preachings, they are annotated by thousands of footnotes to both Scripture verses and the writings of the Church Fathers and the decrees of Vatican II, Trent, and the other councils, so you can go back to the sources yourself. By design, the Catholic Catechism references both the Eastern Church Fathers, so beloved by the Orthodox, and the Western Church Fathers, staring with St Augstine, in roughly equal proportion.
Cardinal Ratzinger, who would later become Pope Benedict, in an in-depth interview in 1985 that the spirit of Vatican II had faded, that it failed to generate a new enthusiasm, but instead Catholicism had become trapped in a spirit of “boredom and discouragement.” What the opponents and supporters of Vatican II shared in common is neither understood nor studied the actual decrees of Vatican II. The solution would be a new Catechism to summarize the teachings of Vatican II.
We are planning a course of study, starting with the Decalogue, or Ten Commandments, and read most of the works quoted in the footnotes of the Catholic Catechism, many of them are church fathers. We will also ponder what the church fathers, the medieval rabbis, Luther in his Large Catechism, and preachers and scholars can teach us about the Decalogue.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
1. The Commission of Six Protestant Ministers
Who Worked with Newpope Paul VI-Montini
To Fabricate a Newchurch of the New Order
To Replace the Catholic Church as the "Institutional" Church
Officially on November 21, 1964, with the Document Lumen Gentium
There Is Now No Doubt that This Newchurch Is in Reality
Not Not the Catholic Church
No Matter What It Purports to Call Itself
This Is Meant For Chatters In My Room That are
Either In Denial or Ignorant Of The Apostasy Of
Vatican II
In the wake of the Vatican II Anti-council (1962-1965), though
starting at least as early as the 1950s, an unprecedented
number of changes have been implemented to the
"institutional" Church. Not only was an invalid Protestantized
"New Mass" (not a Mass) substituted for the Catholic and
Apostolic Traditional Latin Mass but also there was
substituted a "new" canon law, a "new" catechism, a "new"
liturgical calendar, "new" Bible translations, "new"
canonization procedures, "new" sacramental forms, etc. In
fact, the entire divine constitution of the Catholic Church was
replaced in 1964 by a Protestantized fraud. The "institutional"
2. Church in 1964, after the Vatican II Anti-council, became an
anti-Catholic Newchurch of the New Order.
There is now no doubt that the Vatican II Novus Ordo church
of the New Order, currently presided over by the Marxist
Newpope Francis-Bergoglio, which replaced the Catholic
Church as the "institutional" Church on November 21, 1964, is
not the Catholic Church. On that date the constitution for the
Vatican II church of the New Order was officially promulgated
in the document Lumen gentium. The Church described in that
document is not the Catholic Church.
One of our readers compiled the following partial list of
differences between the Vatican II church and the Catholic
Church. This list constitutes undeniable proof that Vatican II
church is not the Catholic Church, even though that Vatican II
church continues to call itself "Catholic" to rake in money and
wield political power. Therefore, no one who calls himself a
Catholic can have anything to do with the anti-Catholic, anti-
Tradition, heretic Vatican II church any more than he can have
anything to do with the anti-Catholic, anti-Tradition, heretic
Protestant sects.

Catholic Church from Apostolic and later times and
insertion into the "New" Martyrology dubious persons
reeking of the odor of heresy, schism, and Marxism
24. Replacement of the annual Catholic Lectionary of
familiar Epistles, Gospels, etc., with the Protestant three-
year cycle of new readings
25. Imposition of a "New Canon Law"

various orders
27. Abolition of the Index of Forbidden Books (Index
Librorum Prohibitorum)
28. Suppression of most indulgences
29. Gutting of blessings
30. Introduction of a "New Catechism," which changed
Catholic and Apostolic doctrine
