Vatican II: Modernism Vs. Tradition at the Council | Dr. Peter Kwasniewski

Was Vatican II a renewal of the Church, the beginning of a crisis, or something more complicated? In this episode, Conor sits down for a second time with Dr. Peter Kwasniewski for a thoughtful examination of the Second Vatican Council, its authority, its documents, and its lasting impact on Catholic life. Together they discuss the question of ambiguity in the council texts, the rise of modernism, the interpretation of religious liberty, questions of outside influences, and the challenges that emerged in the decades that followed.
