Prior to Vatican II, 80% of young people leaving Catholic schools practised the faith, today, 3% do. The much vaunted New Pentecost is seemingly no quite so awesome as the first. This catastrophic collapse is primarily the result of the heresy of Modernism, which has seeped into the Church's blood stream like AIDs, sapping her vitality and reducing her to a shadow of her former self. Since Vatican II, with one or two honourable exceptions, Western sees have been filled by Rome with dreary, vacuous, bog-standard Modernists. Under the leadership of these men, Christ Body in the British Isles, and elsewhere, has simply haemorrhaged away? It is also no coincidence that the horribly sex-abuse scandals, mostly perpetrated by predatory sodomites, occurred on their watch. To cure a disease, one must first understand it. In this booklet, Michael Davies uses his scholarship to lucidly expose the nature of this deadly virus in terms that all can understand. By Graham Moorhouse Chairman, PEEP
