Archimandrite Boniface provides personal accounts of liturgical sabotage after the Council by an aggressive minority in the Consilium who pressured the bishops to approve their erroneous work. In his words: \"The problem lies not in the Council itself or its primary documents, but in . . . what the dissenters have prevented it from being.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArchimandrite Boniface summarizes the situation in the Western Church: \"We are witnessing, above all, a crisis of grace. We are in dire need of a renewed outpouring of the Holy Spirit . . . a renewed return to the gospel, especially to the whole Sermon on the Mount. . . . We need a renewed return to Holy Tradition . . . a return to the Council itself.\" This book points to signs of hope in the Church, and offers thoughtful suggestions on how to reach the goal of true renewal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 260\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 13, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42709900034144,"sku":"9798892801201","price":62.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/sLTbailQMW9798892801201.webp?v=1775998255","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/a-wider-view-of-vatican-ii-memories-and-analysis-of-a-council-consultor-hardcover","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
