Vatican II - Modern Mass – A personal view
by Michael Heathcote
I was born in 1944 (a cradle Catholic) and between the ages of 4 and 8 was taught by the Sisters of La Retraite then between 8 and 18 I was educated by the De La Salle Brothers.
This was before Vatican II (The Second Vatican Council) which comprised four sessions between 1962-1965; convened by Pope John XXIII and concluded with Pope Paul VI. It was endorsed by Pope John Paul I, Pope John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI, Pope Francis and Pope Leo XIV who said in his address to the College of Cardinals “I would like us to renew together today our complete commitment to the path that the universal church has now followed for decades in the wake of the Second Vatican Council.”
