3.11. What is wrong with the new disciplines introduced after Vatican II?

Post-conciliar reforms include:

• Communion in the hand;

• Altar girls;

• Lay ministers of Holy Communion;

• General absolution without confession;

• Relaxed fasting and penance;

• Loss of clerical dress;

• Protestant-style church architecture.

While disciplines can vary, the Church cannot institute disciplines that endanger faith, promote irreverence, or undermine doctrine. These new practices reflect and reinforce the theological errors of Vatican II, making them dangerous to souls.
