Below you will find Parts One and Two (of four) of Michael's talks on the council given at the Von Hildebrand Institute in 2001.
The First video talks about how the "liberals" conspired before and during the council to bring it under their control. Keep the Faith describes the talk as follows:
"The program for Vatican II was quite different from that which was examined and ultimately promulgated once the Council began. Why is this the case? Michael Davies shows that an organized group of progressives took advantage of the lack of organization of traditionalists and pushed the Council down an unexpected direction."
The Second Video talks about what Pope Benedict Called the Virtual Council, that is how the media manipulated the council to their own ends with help from within and without. Keep the Faith describes the talk as follows:
"Progressives understood the use of the media in a way in which their opponents did not. Moreover, media men were often on exactly the same wavelength as the progressives anyway. This, Michael Davies explains, allowed the two groups together to give shape to the Council's development."
Tomorrows post will contain Part 3 and Part 4 of the series. Please enjoy the talks but also support this wonderful apostolate "Keep the Faith"
I'm still enamored by the statement Pope Emeritus Benedict made before abdicating from the thrown of Peter, where he drew on the Second Vatican Council and how it was hijacked by the media and people within the hierarchyThe virtual council as Benedict put it in cahoots with them.
Im happy to say that I uploaded a video on Youtube which was a talk given by the one and only Michael Davies on this very topic years before our previous Holy Father brought this up.
Enjoy! (it is a little long by the way, but very interesting). Please say an Ave for the repose of his soul,
A couple of days ago on the First things blog Liz Scalia commented on the Popes speech given on the plane following WYD. To keep things short she theorized that the Holy Father was being a crafty Jesuit in manipulating the media for his purpose.
Pardon me... did she watch the news and how they covered it. Sure what he said doesnt conflict with the catechism, but when the media knows its clients are not interested in more than a quick blurb this is a problem. The Pope might well be witty, but all the media has to do is ignore 99% of what is said and promote the 1% out of context (note this was also done to Benedict when "Light of the World" was put out).
Look I love and pray for every Holy Father but....please, please dont let yourself be manipulated! There is nothing crafty about 90% of all Catholics now thinking homosexuals should never be judged. There is nothing crafty about 5% probably being scandalized.
Hes being used. The media might well have put forth a virtual council following and during VII, but they do the same thing now with Francis.
BTW, I know he wants the Bishops to stand up for teachings like abortion and he feels like Catholics know the fundimental church teachings, but, Your Holiness I dont think you have even begun to comprehend the barque you have taken captain of.
It should not be a surprise that the verdict on Saturday
came out as not guilty. It seemed to
most of us that there was no real evidence showing that Mr. Zimmerman had done
anything illegal in a temporal or moral sense.
Yet for two nights now we get stuck with riots and general terror by
people greatly upset with the juries verdict.
I found the following pictures online at the Daily Mail website showing
conditions in New York, LA and so forth.
Being blunt this is pathetic, but its all part of the plan.
A while back I remember seeing a talk by former, then
ousted, Green Czar Van Jones where he made a comment that a revolution was
coming, that it would be Bottom up, Top Down and Inside out. Now to most of us this seems like mere
rhetoric and is generally poo-pooed as such.
Yet a couple people, generally associated with blogs or conservative
outlets picked up on this immediately. People like Glenn Beck (who I have posted the
video below for) did his best to bring to the public knowledge of this plan,
and to some extent I think we might have been helped.
Its not that this is the sign that we are in trouble. Its only one thing in a laundry list of
signs. The Fabian Socialists were just
on the tip of the era. They wished to
set the world a blaze so as to make it closer to their hearts. Part of their plan included eugenics which
was directly associated with the racist attitudes that most of them held. Creating Race wars is just another way to
promote division and confusion among people, and I don’t need to tell you the
million news stories that are so prevalent just in the US alone. It seems like there is so much to keep in
mind that we are seriously in dire straits.
This Zimmerman case is just another show case to cause
confusion and division and it is fueled by a media complicit in acting against
life and the will of God made known in his Holy Catholic Church. Mr. Zimmerman made a statement to the officer
before even knowing Trayvon was dead that his Catholic faith made it clear the killing
of another is always wrong (speaking of murder of course).
The complicit are abundant.
1.The Media
2.The Government
3.The wealthy Progressives and Conservatives
4.The ignorant masses
But in the end who is at fault?
Catholics.
That’s right Catholics.
Many Popes and Holy people like St. Bernadette of Lourdes noted that all
the evil of the world is the fault of bad Catholics. I confess that all to often I fall into this
category. My pride, my lustful desires,
my thirst for worldliness too often clouds my sight and I fall.
I was thinking it is now time to really take my call to
holiness seriously, not that I haven’t at times, but he calls us to be perfect
and this scares us. Dr. Peter Kreeft
says that we are all called to be great saints but we hold ourselves back from
this with worldly concerns. For me its
always wanting credit for my actions.
Too often I think my knowledge is grander then others and I want to set
them straight regardless of how I do so.
Often times I am uncharitable and fall.
Lord grant me the grace of humility to live out a just life and be completely
commited to your call of the Golden rule.
Help me to be mercy to the ignorant so as to enlighten them and bring
them to you. Let it no longer be me who
lives, but you who lives in me.
Let us pray for Mr. Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin. Let us particularaly pray for those Holy
Souls in Purgatory for they are nearly home and our love for them as part of
the Body of Christ is just like the loaves and fishes Christ was given.
Humility, Mercy, Trust.
Thank you for all the suffereings both of the mind and body
O’ Lord, Your grace is sufficient.
For, Whatever be the will of the Lord, I trust in the’ oh
God
