Their allegiance was more to the world than to the teaching of the Church.<br /><br />He ushered in a more Ecumenical sense to the modern Church but respected the constraints of what could be done. Under him relations with the Church of England improved but he did not give when it was demanded that Anglicans and Catholics should share the Eucharist.<br /><br />Some might view him as now some sort of tragic figure. He was certainly a man in an unenviable position vis-a-vis what was going on in the world and the Church at that time.Georgenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-1259078031764589482014-05-10T11:23:18.504-04:002014-05-10T11:23:18.504-04:00JBS, Well, since his Vat II ran amok, they have co...JBS, Well, since his Vat II ran amok, they have come out of the darkness and belly-laugh openly and unashamedly.

God help us. I'm sure all the victims of the sex abuse scaldal which thrived under Paul Vi's watch will be thrilled about this. Hopefully they will start a protest that will force the Vatican to back down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-79013326929538099172014-05-10T10:22:19.592-04:002014-05-10T10:22:19.592-04:00In a world gone mad with atheism and annihilation,...In a world gone mad with atheism and annihilation, and in a Church infested with infidelity and immorality, Paul VI remained a force of prayer standing firm atop the Confessio of Peter. He preserved the Roman Rite from total destruction, preserved the much-maligned and much-violated discipline of clerical celibacy, and pointed to the light of Heaven as men around the globe snickered in the darkness.Rood Screenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09816036539243214384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-48589582695457547992014-05-10T10:15:27.673-04:002014-05-10T10:15:27.673-04:00"because he was chosen by God to implement Va..."because he was chosen by God to implement Vatican II"<br /><br />I think it would be better to say that he was chosen by very fallible men, the consequences of whose actions must in retrospect render suspect their intentions. And that the Vatican is so politicized today that, whatever his merits or flaws, it is less Paul VI himself than the "spirit of Vatican II" that will be celebrated on October 19.
