[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, I wish all the anti Vatican II people would form their own separate church and they can even name their own pope if they want.

The Holy Spirit has moved within the church in the selection of this pope. If the people who want to turn back the church to pre Vatican II times are not happy with that message, they  could split off and form a church that harkens back to an earlier era that they prefer. [/quote]

For the most part, these people are not anti Vatican II people. They just want to celebrate mass and the sacraments according to the Latin Roman rite used until 1962 or so. The Church already accommodates many different liturgical rites, so it would be natural to ask why not this rite too.[/quote]

Many of the people who are attracted to the Mass as it existed before 1962 would very much prefer the Church to go back to the way it was before Vatican II. They do not care for the changes in the Church that were led by the Holy Spirit through Vatican II.

Other than liturgical matters, can you identify what other Vatican II changes this group does not care for?[/quote]
Canges in the mass like the priest facing the people, joining hands, sign of peace, using the vernacular language, contemporary music, standing to receive communion in one's hands versus kneeling and receiving on tongue. Women not wearing head coverings. I don't know how they feel about lay people giving the readings or acting as Eucharistic Ministers and other functions, but I'd assume they don't like this either. Changes allowed more roles for and  participation by and between the laity. [/quote]

I am hoping you realize all those thing are simply liturgical matters.

I don't think you can name any non-liturgical issue from Vatican II that the people who prefer Latin mass disagree with because for the vast majority there is no disagreement.[/quote]
