It was the final session of Vatican Council II, and some bishops began to say that the council, before closing, should make Pope John XXIII a saint by acclamation.13 ‘Don’t do that,’ several of the Protestant observers at the council said. ‘The Good Pope John is a saint for all of us, Catholics and Protestants alike. If you box him into your canonical structures, he will no longer be our saint. And we don’t want to lose him.’14 They didn’t—John XXIII is listed on June 3rd in the Lutheran Book of Worship15 under Lesser Festivals and Commemorations along with the heretics Martin Luther, John Calvin and John Huss.
His Death
John XXIII died of stomach cancer on June 3, 1963. “At his death, even the city of Belfast [Northern Ireland] lowered its flags to half-mast.”16 It was the first time in history that Protestants mourned the death of a pope. Although he died less than five years after his election, he laid the foundation of a new church. In order to successfully deceive the masses, this new church is still controlled from the Chair of Peter and resembles the Catholic Church in certain customs and practices. John XXIII’s revolution, which began with the Second Vatican Council, was continued by his successors: Paul VI, John Paul I, John Paul II and Benedict XVI. […]
“Two bold theologians, Murray and De Lubac were not present at the opening of the council because their writings had earned reproof from their superiors. By the fourth session, however, they were not only among the most active periti, but were chosen to concelebrate a special Mass with the pope.”
To strengthen their position at the Second Vatican Council John XXIII and Paul VI turned many of these Modernists into trusted periti. Paul Bernier, SSS explains: “In the decade before that council [Vatican II], people like John Courtney Murray, Henri De Lubac, Yves Congar, Pierre Chenu, Teilhard de Chardin, even Karl Rahner were silenced by Rome [because of their unorthodox teachings]. All of them emerged as either periti (advisors) or as lights by which the council guided itself.” Thus, from the beginning of the council, liberal cardinals, bishops and periti held an iron grip on Vatican II by controlling the vital positions of the council.
