We welcome back Fr. John Perricone to discuss the upcoming meeting between the SSPX and the Vatican regarding the consecration of new Bishops. In many ways this is considered a referendum on the Second Vatican Council, and the SSPX hasn't started cheering yet. What are we to make of the mixed signals, and how should we remember Vatican II all these years later? Father finishes with Timely Thoughts.
