Protestants call on Pope to unreservedly accept Vatican II
Vatikan: Kritik an Papst Benedikt reisst nicht ab - Bild.de
In Mannheim, a church has set up a hotline for distressed Catholics to express their anger.
The Evangelical Church in Germany (EKD) has expressed its concern about the future of ecumenism. While the denial of the Holocaust by Williamson one should not trivialise, it is "by far not the only problem we have in this context in mind," said President of the EKD Bishop Wolfgang Huber to Bavarian Radio.
Everyone knew that the SSPX even more radically deny the Second Vatican Council and the "ecclesiastical nature" of all other Christian churches than has been the case in recent Papal utterances, said Huber. In the recent decree of the Vatican, a change in this attitude was not required.
The Braunschweig Regional Bishop Friedrich Weber in the ARD-Morgenmagazin was critical of the fact that the Pope in the General Audience on Wednesday did not use the occasion to personally comment on Holocaust denial. "That would have been a clear signal that the Pope stands by the results of the Second Vatican Council."
Cathcon calls on all Protestants to recognise immediately wholly and without reservation the decrees Vatican II at least, as well as Trent and Vatican I. If they don’t accept them themselves, how can they criticise other people for not accepting them?

I wonder whether the Catholic prelates in Europe are up in arms because they are afraid that the SSPX might attract people away from their "Spirit of Vatican II" parishes, thereby minishing their already dwindling attendance.
Do you have the Catholic faith left within yourselves.Holy Sacrifice of Mass,Sacraments and catechism are corrupted.You finally criticise the Holy Father !
Remmeber that one day you have to come before the Judgement seat of God,the Creator. Do you all believe in the Fatima message ?
Very sad .
Laxity was the order of the day, and the timing of the evening meal was set according to what was good on the television. Community night prayers went out of the window and the only priest present at morning meditation with three of four lay brothers was the one saying the 7am Mass. Faced with this, I did not feel that I could in all conscience go forward to final vows. I did the right thing because had I stayed I would have had a major problem accepting the Novus Ordo Missae and all the excesses and abuses that went on in the name of experimental liturgy and ecumenism. On the day that I should have renewed my vows prior to final vows one year later, I left my monastery in the dark at 6am in a flood of tears. I didn’t want to go, but under the circumstances I could not stay. Looking around the UK now at the number of religious houses and seminaries that are either closed, communities moved to smaller premises, or just hanging on with a few elderly members, I remain unconvinced that Vatican II was the great success and renewal that we are constantly told it was. By their fruits shall you know them, and since Vatican II there has been a crop failure and a blight of religious vocations. Quite the contrary happened after the Council of Trent when there was an astonishing revival of priestly and religious vocations, reforms in relaxed religious communities, and a plethora or new religious orders and congregations. Trent produced a visible and palpable revival in the church the likes of which we are still waiting to see in the wake of Vatican II.
