This is so weird to have two popes making statements here and there, but that is beside the point. Pope Emeritus Benedict Warns of 'Deep Crisis' in Church Since Vatican II Pope Benedict XVI warns that the Catholic Church is facing a "deep crisis" following reforms of the Second Vatican Council that was held in the 1960s, the website LifeSite reports. LifeSite reported on an interview granted to Avvenire, the daily newspaper of the Italian Bishops' Conference, in which the retired Pontiff refers to a "two-sided deep crisis" in the Church. "The missionaries of the 16th century were convinced that the unbaptized person is lost forever," Benedict said. "After the [Second Vatican] Council, this conviction was definitely abandoned. The result was a two-sided, deep crisis. Without this attentiveness to the salvation, the Faith loses its foundation."

Not necessarily hear a sermon or sit in a pew. Might be better to gather at the park and enjoy the day together. All of that positive energy is bound to spread itself around. Organized religion makes me sad for the world.

This Jesuit guy is a bit weird. Many believe the Vatican Council 2 was infiltration of the Church by Freemasonry or other forces.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 53869156 Honestly, I've not ever read too much about the Catholic religion, other than what I see in headlines. For me, it seems like such a cold existence. When I think of the Vatican, I get vibes like that of a haunted house. It isn't a place I would want to visit. Though I would like to see every bit of artwork.

Quoting: YanceyDoodleDandy The Catholic Church is beautiful. The Vatican is beautiful. You may be used to more happy clappy protestant churches but, trust me, if you ever visited the Vatican you would be in absolute awe, and the Mass would leave you in no doubt as to the majesty and splendor of God.
