Was Vatican II Merely Pastoral with Michael Lofton – YouTube
In this video, Michael Lofton dispels the myth that Vatican II was both doctrinal and pastoral, just as Scripture can be both pastoral and doctrinal.
He goes through points showing that the moral and doctrinal points in Vatican II were not just wish-wash but had solid and doctrinal character.
Pope Paul VI comments on the pastoral nature of the council are addressed first and he shows that a distinction btw dogma and doctrine is in need to properly understand the Pope’s comments.
