Paul VI’s Role after the Council
Omitted by Mattei (Pseudo-traditionalist)
By: Patrick Odou
Michael Matt of the Remnant...another pseudo traditionalist |
Prof. Roberto de Mattei is being promoted by certain middle-of-the-road
circles as a rising star of traditionalism. I do not believe he is an
authentic leader, but rather another of these Vatican-made
“traditionalists” whose mission is to enter the arena to anesthetize the
good reactions among Catholics so that Progressivism can go ahead with
its agenda.
In a talk he gave in Krakow he sustained that the bad consequences of
Vatican II should not be attributed to the Bishops and Popes who made
the Council and enforced it. Mattei pretends, endorsing a statement of
Benedict XVI, that all of the Council's harmful consequences resulted
only from a bad interpretation made by the media and calls it a Virtual
Council. So, with this scapegoat, he intends to save Vatican II along
with the Conciliar Popes and Bishops.
I resolved to write this series of articles showing how absurd this
pretension is. The two first focused on how John XXIII consciously
promoted the Vatican II Revolution (here and here); the third focused on the role of Paul VI during the Council (here).
Today, I will analyze Paul VI’s action after Vatican II to enforce it.
God willing, I shall continue this series with less time lapsing between
articles.
The role of Paul VI in enforcing the Council
After Vatican II, Paul VI would spend the next 13 years making sure that
the Vatican II directives were implemented throughout the whole Church.
For him, the Council was just the beginning of the ”reform.” As
Cardinal Suenens comments:
Paul VI abolished the tiara and sabotaged the papal ceremonies that have the sedia gestatoria & fabelli |
“For his part Pope Paul VI wrote these far-reaching words that engage
the future: ‘The Council’s decrees, more than a point of arrival, are a
point of departure toward new goals. The spirit and the renewing wind of
the Council must continue to penetrate deeply into the life of the
Church. The seeds of life sown by the Council in Church soil must reach
their full maturity.’“(1)
In an egalitarian move promoting the desacralization of the Papacy, Paul VI would stop wearing the papal tiara, would sell it (video
here), and would wear a bishop’s miter only on special occasions. Also, the sedia gestatoria (papal throne carried on the shoulders of nobility) and the flabelli (ostrich feather fans) were almost never seen during his papacy.
To help ensure that the Council’s decrees would reach the people and
“penetrate deeply into the life of the Church,” Paul VI would do the
unthinkable: He altered the Holy Mass.

The reform of the Mass & liturgy
Most Catholics spend the majority of their time involved in the
day-to-day concerns of this world: family, job, school, etc. The
majority have little time (assuming they have the competence) to follow
the great discussions concerning the Church. How many Catholics have
even read the 16 documents of Vatican II?
But through the Mass, liturgy and activities of the local parish,
directives given by Rome slowly but surely reach and influence the
everyday life of the average Catholic. Every Catholic, to a greater or
lesser degree, is involved in the life of the local church. There, he
assists at weekly or daily events such as Masses, feast days and
ceremonies of baptisms, funerals, and weddings, that do “penetrate
deeply into his life.” The document of Vatican II used to establish
changes in the lives of the everyday Catholic through the Mass and
liturgy was Sacrosanctum Concilium.

In his work In the Murky Waters of Vatican II, Atila Guimarães notes:
“Sacrosanctum Concilium, the Constitution on Liturgy, was the
first document to be discussed and approved by the Council (11/14/1962),
promulgated by Vatican II (11/21/1963), and officially ratified by Paul
VI (12/4/1963).” (2)
After the Council, to supervise the implementation of Sacrosanctum Concilium,
“Paul VI established a new commission to reform the liturgy of the Mass:
the Pontifical Commission for the Application of the Constitution on
the Sacred Liturgy. The commission was headed by Fr. Annibale Bugnini, and included Protestant observers. The fruit of these studies was the Apostolic Constitution Missale Romanum of Paul VI, published on April 3, 1969.” (3)
In short, professed enemies of the Church were brought in, consulted and took an active part in the creation of the hereticizing Novus Ordo Mass. Paul VI immediately went about doing everything he could to impose the New Mass:
“On April 10, 1970, Paul VI received the commission that prepared the new Ordo Missae. As a picture of the audience was about to be taken, the Pontiff
chose to appear
at the side of the observers from 'non-Catholic ecclesial communities.'
In the foreground, next to Paul VI, appears Protestant minister Max
Thurian, of the community of Taizé.” (4)
Perhaps Mattei wants us to believe that a director of the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation)
was behind the camera and instructed Paul VI to stand next to the
Protestants for the photo op... Sorry, but Mattei’s Virtual Council
idea truly is ridiculous.

More than just “a window was opened” with Vatican II: The new forms of
liturgy, which reached and affected all of the faithful, acted more like
opening every window and every door in the Church, as well as ripping
off its roof.
As Guimarães states, Paul VI welcomed the new openness:
“Four months after founding the ITC [International Theological
Commission – 1969], Paul VI expressed his intent to establish greater
tolerance, along the same lines of the program already being followed.
"He said: ‘We will have a period in the life of the Church and,
consequently, in that of each one of her children, of greater liberty,
that is, of fewer legal obligations and internal inhibitions. The former
discipline will be reduced, arbitrary intolerance and despotism
abolished, the prevailing laws simplified, and the exercise of authority
tempered. That sense of Christian liberty, which so marked the first
generation of Christians when they understood they were released from
observing the Mosaic Law and the complicated ritual precepts, will be
fostered (Gal 5:1).’” (5)
These new forms of worship, which were developed with the help of
Protestants, were forced on the Church by Paul VI in opposition to
traditional Catholic teachings. From the Pope, these reforms spread to
the Vatican, to the National Conferences of Bishops, to the Archdioceses
and Dioceses and, finally, to every local parish. The media did not
play any essential role in this internal reform.
Promoting Communism

On April 27, 1966, five months after the closing ceremonies of Vatican
II, Paul VI warmly received at the Vatican Andrei Gromyko, Minister of
USSR Foreign Affairs. For the first time in fifty years of Communism, a
Pope welcomed a representative of the Soviet Union.
On January 1967, less than 9 months later, Paul VI invited Nicholas Podgorny to the Vatican.
While Catholics were being murdered, the Church persecuted, and Catholic
social doctrine on private property forbidden in the USSR and other
countries under the Communist Regime, Podgorny, the chairman of the USSR
Supreme Soviet, was warmly received by Pope Paul VI.
On March 1971, Paul VI greeted communist dictator Tito of Yugoslavia.
The message sent to all Catholics during the post-conciliar period was
quite clear: Stop Fighting Communism!
Profaning relics, promoting relativism & abandoning habits
On June 24, 1968 at the Vatican, Paul VI gave a relic to a Monophysite
Copt delegation. It was the head of St. Mark the Evangelist that had
been guarded in Venice as a treasure for centuries!
In St. Peter’s Basilica, on May 6, 1973, after a Mass commemorating the
1600th anniversary of the death of St. Athanasius, Paul VI gave a relic
of that Saint to the chief of the Monophysite Copt sect of Egypt,
Shenouda III.

On December 14, 1975, Paul VI kissed the feet of the Russian
Metropolitan Meliton and refused to allow this heretical-schismatic
Meliton to return the gesture.
Previously, in 1966 in Rome, Paul VI publically had given his ring to
the leader of the Anglican sect Michael Ramsey. This was supposed to be a
symbol of the Catholic Church's commitment to “marry” the Anglican
sect, following the imagery of the groom who gives an engagement ring to
his fiancée.
During the reign of Paul VI and under his close direction, the habits of
religious man and women continued to change and eventually disappeared.
Those beautiful, modest and dignified garments that symbolized a
renunciation of the world and were unique for each religious order,
became more and more similar to lay clothing until they were almost
extinct. In the feminine orders hemlines were raised to the knee
exposing the leg, and veils, which had covered everything but the face,
started to reveal hair colors and styles.
Again, the media had essentially nothing to do with those reforms.
Certainly the media organs were more than willing to applaud those
changes, but the responsibility for them lies strictly upon the
Conciliar Popes who directed the reforms and the Bishops who were the
secondary parties responsible for applying them.
Abandonment of the Tiara - Pope Paul VI [13.11.1964]
Therefore, Paul VI was the Pope who:
- Reigned over the Council and its conclusion;
- Signed, sealed and delivered the final product of the Council to the faithful;
- Spent 13 years after the Council implementing its norms and ”spirit” which he fully understood;
- Changed the Mass and Liturgy to help spread the Conciliar Revolution to even the most remote parishes around the globe;
- Tore down or weakened the barriers against Communism and Socialism, and
- Commanded the desacralization of the Papacy and the entire religious world
There is much more that could be presented, but I believe what was
exposed here is sufficient to pose the serious question: Who in his
right mind could even consider the theory that the news reports spread
by the media were responsible for the
Conciliar Revolution?
Mattei: Pseudo Traditionalist, which the Neo-SSPX now often uses in their weak argumentation for their new watered down position on Vatican II... |
The analysis of the papacy of Paul VI alone is sufficient to destroy
this unsustainable position of the so-called historian Roberto de
Mattei. His attempt to curry favor with Conciliar Popes and the Vatican,
by presenting the media as a scapegoat for the disaster called Vatican
II, is absurd and deserving of contempt.
In my next article, I shall present papal actions that furthered the
Conciliar Revolution during the world-shockingly brief reign of John
Paul I.

Excellent article! Thank you for enlightening those of us who have not read the 16 documents of Vatican ll. A lot of information to digest, but, I'm loving what you are teaching. You do so much, and I'd like to thank you again.
