Editorial Reviews

Review

"The great value of this work is that, instead of giving us mere opinions, hopes and fears, as so many other books on the Council do, In the Murky Waters of Vatican II gives the facts unearthed by meticulous research and carefully substantiated with detailed documentation. ... I would urge as many Catholics as possible to read this book, for once we are well informed, we can speak out openly, confident that the Truth can never harm our beloved Church, but can only help restore Her to her erstwhile Glory." ---- Mark Ellis, Christian Order, London --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

"The 60-page Appendix, an overview of "The Catholic Church and Homosexuality" is alone worth the price of the book!" --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb, scholarly analysis of Vatican II, June 17, 2001

By	M. A. Panevska (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book (one of a series by the author on Vatican II) focuses on the AMBIGUITY that permeates the Council documents and explains how that ambiguity has opened the door to interpretations radically opposed to the perennial teachings of the Catholic Church.

The author explains how a group of "new theologians" orchestrated an amazing take-over of the Council, completely discarding all the preparatory work and establishing their own radical ideas as the foundation for the final documents. The traditional Council members were caught off guard, and while they strongly opposed the radicals, they were not organized or prepared to fight effectively.

This is an ice-cold presentation of all the facts, meticulously documented with abundant quotations and references. Shocking and disturbing, but a must-read for anyone wanting to know the true story behind Vatican Council II and its aftermath.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vol. 1 of 11 on the analysis of Vatican II, May 25, 2008

By	M. A. Ramos (Florida USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This volume shows you how ambiguity in the official texts of Vatican II opened the door for progressivist interpretations. And how Progressivism then installed itself in the Catholic Church. It is a carefully written, authoritative book about the Council and its aftermath. And has extensive footnotes and bibliography.

3.0 out of 5 stars difficult read, October 15, 2006

By	Kimberley Wilson (VA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Murky Waters is full of information but it was arranged so poorly as to make the book darn near unreadable. If you want to know the history of VII read the Rhine Flows into the Tiber or anything by Michael Davies instead.
