Very Rare Footage of Pope Pius Xii Speaking in English ORA PRO NOBIS - May 6, 2013 POPE PIUS XII's ADDRESS TO THE BRITISH EIGHTH ARMY I was fascinated by this very rare footage of Pope Pius XII speaking in English and elevating our great English Saints.

The Obtuse Spirit of Vatican II: Still Attempting to Pass Off Damaged Spiritual Goods As "Quality Merchandise". DOUG LAWRENCE'S CATHOLIC WEBLOG - May 3, 2013 ... Obama's present political regime. In 1965, CHANGE came to the Catholic Church. And it was an unmitigated DISASTER for the entire world. It's high time somebody in authority cut off the head and plunged a stake through the heart of the 2nd Vatican Council … once and for all. It's either that … or perhaps the Holy Spirit has already abandoned the church and granted the people all the desires of their hearts.
