In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Dr. Richard DeClue, Cardinal Henri de Lubac Fellow of Theology at the Word on Fire Institute to talk about the Second Vatican Council.

What did Vatican II really say? What did it set out to accomplish? Did it ruin the Liturgy? The life of the Church? And how can we, as faithful Catholics, learn to evangelize in the true spirit of Vatican II.

This is a great conversation which, we hope, really cuts through some of the confusion surrounding Vatican II and its fallout and brings some light and clarity to what the Catholic Church really teaches.
