Part 01-  The Liberal Coup

The program for Vatican II was quite different from that which was examined and ultimately promulgated once the Council began. Why is this the case? Mr. Michael Davies shows that an organized group of progressives took advantage of the lack of organization of traditionalists and pushed the Council down an unexpected direction.  

Part 02 -The Role of the Press

Progressives understood the use of the media in a way in which their opponents did not. Moreover, media men were often on exactly the same wavelength as the progressives anyway. This, Mr. Michael Davies explains, allowed the two groups together to give shape to the Council's development. 

Part 03 - The Protestant Connection

Progressives were eager to work together with Protestants. This meant that Protestant observers of the Council often played not only a role but even a determining role in its sessions. Mr. Michael Davies discusses the Protestants in question, their Catholic allies, and the specific influences they had.   

Part 04- The Liturgical Revolution

Mr. Michael Davies is most known for his work on the liturgical revolution. Here, he summarizes how the movement for liturgical reform transmuted into the monster that it became, and then used Vatican II, the organs established to effect the reforms of Vatican II, and the "spirit of the Council" to create the new liturgy.
