...and on to Birmingham...

..to Maryvale. I am reading Dei Verbum for my studies, and it is a fascinating document that makes the Scriptures seem so alive and important. Because of being so frequently told, especially in the late 1970s and early 80s, that "everything has gone wrong since Vatican II" I had never given the actual documents of that great Council their due place, and it is a great thing to realise how much richer they are than I had been led to believe.

Post hoc does not imply propter hoc. Everything went wrong after Vatican II, but it was the generation educated in the 1950s which fell away.
