Cardinal Burke And Raymond Arroyo Discuss Strategy And Vatican II Denial

The Latest Way To Put Down Traditionalism

This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador of Nonsense) discuss the latest leftist name-calling: 'Vatican II Deniers'. Much like science-denier, climate-denier, and the age-old name 'RACIST', V2-denier has become a way for left leaning Catholics (those who wish to break from our 2000 year old traditions) to change the dialogue and put conservatives (or rather, traditionalists, or even, traditional Catholics) on the defense--instead of on the offence, where we belong. Cardinal Burke discusses this with Raymond Arroyo on The World Over, and Eric and Dan dissect his answers.
