These seem to have had a lot of influence on the world views of people who experienced them. In particular, I wonder about the effect of WWII on those who lived through it, even on very young children. WWII, seems to have left its mark on the Church. I think all the Council Fathers lived through WWII. <br />I am Reform of the Reformhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15480443759339506770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8940364093450837549.post-19755954641276439112015-07-18T01:28:07.186+01:002015-07-18T01:28:07.186+01:00Regarding Vatican II and the painstaking attempts ...Regarding Vatican II and the painstaking attempts to find heresy in its documents I would respectfully suggest that looking at statements on ecumenism and religious freedom might be profitable.
