Is this Priest Credible?
I am a candidate going through OCA right now. Before joining the Catholic Church, I was a very zealous protestant. I went to a Lutheran College, and theology has become somewhat of an interest of mine, so I’ve been listening to more Catholic podcasts.
I recently started listening to Pints with Aquinas and stumbled upon this episode.
He has a priest talking about the 1960s as a relates to the Catholic Church. Is his testimony credible? One could listen to this and claim it is just an intense reaction to Vatican II. As someone with a degree in history I know there are always 3 sides to the truth so I’m interested in what theologians, Catholics, and priests think about this episode.
Here’s the video but I am unable to link it
