I am struggling with several issues that stem directly from Vatican II and it's documents.
I had finished reading the Council of Florence as well Council of Trent, et al. before I tackled Vatican II, thinking it better to go in chronological order.
I have found myself at a major quandry. Frankly some of the documents in VII are...suspect. There is alot of ambiguity within said text. Then upon looking at the condition of the Church since the implementation of Vatican II--simply deplorable and if I look back at Florence, Trent, Nicene it seems that Vatican II 'chucked' many of the sacred traditions. The history since VII has bore no possible GOOD fruit from what I see. Could someone assist me and show me what good has come from Vatican II?
Secondly, do I have to follow the Vatican II documents? Reason I ask; is that there is no doctrinal declaration; though there is a pastoral declaration. Help, please!
