Henri de Lubac's fascinating notes on Vatican II By Dr. Jeff Mirus

How good is this generalization?
A more immediate historical influence might be attributed to the two world wars of the twentieth century. Throughout the West, people came to have a profound respect for military precision and obedience, and all the habits of thought associated with soldiering. Those who can remember the 1950s will remember a society still interested in precise dress, short military hair cuts, and punctilious manners when it came to rank, not to mention the need to concern oneself primarily with one’s own duties, while accepting unquestionably the larger decisions of authority. This lent the entire culture a quality of systemic formalism.

The world is like a school that the students refuse to attend because they do not want to know what they need to know to be saved

The Institute for Priestly Formation
A Church that Was Never Militant Enough
The Latin churches in the United States from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century. After assimilating neo-Yankee values and the gospel of progress and wealth (while maintaining ethnic enclaves for newcomers), is it surprising that they failed?
