Could the changes that followed Vatican II be the very reason you’re questioning your faith today?

Join Jack and musician, composer, and essayist Aurelio Porfiri, as they navigate the seismic shifts within the Catholic Church, from the traditional Latin Mass to the sweeping liturgical reforms of 1969. Jack shares his personal story of growing up amidst these changes, grappling with confusion and a search for understanding, and how delving into Vatican II documents, especially Sacrosanctum Concilium, brought both clarity and more questions. Aurelio's expert insights shed light on the widespread belief that Vatican II alone caused the upheaval, helping us separate fact from myth.

Join us as we explore the intricate roles of Popes Paul VI and John XXIII during the aftermath of Vatican II and address the pressing challenges modern Catholic families face, balancing traditional values with contemporary influences. We examine whether a return to the traditional Latin Mass can offer solace amidst today's crisis of faith and morals, and consider Pope Francis's complex leadership.
