Vatican II ABOUT FACE! - Chiesa viva

neighbors are also respected. “Whatever you do unto the
least of my brothers, you do unto Me.” (Mt. 25,40)
Therefore, considering the “saving project of God” and
putting a priority on Jesus Christ, one must reject the doctrine
of Vatican Il, such as in the Constitution: “Gaudium et
Spes,” which wants the Church to open up to everything
that is included in the concept of “World.”
Now, we can say that the principal work of Vatican II was
that contained in the speech of John XXIII, during his opening
of the Council: “Aggiornamento.”
The opening to “Modernism”, for example, was an encounter
between “the Church and the World”, held in
peace and serenity. With the aggiornamento of the Council to

Pope to the Synagogue of Rome, the prayer to the “One

their cult; to teach us, in any case, to defend the “rights of
man.” A surrender to the world that made us lose our
Christian identity!

There is also the “Gaudium et Spes” Constitution, considered
pastoral, which is the text that is most at the heart of the
Council, even though it is the most argued and impassioned
work to come out of it.
This idea of worrying about the contemporary world, has
succeeded in diminishing evermore, love towards Jesus.
While the past Councils gave the world the richness of the
