In this episode of Veritate, Johnny Mack takes the gloves off and goes straight to the source: Sacrosanctum Concilium, the Second Vatican Council’s Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy. With clarity and conviction, he dismantles the modern myth that Vatican II mandated the complete shift from Latin to the vernacular in the Holy Mass. Most Catholics have never read the document, but they’ve heard countless interpretations of its so-called “spirit.”
This episode challenges those interpretations. It exposes how selective reading and post-conciliar innovations, many never authorized by the Council, have led to a rupture in the Church’s liturgical life. Johnny walks listeners through the exact wording of the Council, placing it in the context of 2,000 years of liturgical tradition, from the Council of Trent to Vatican I, to the reverence of saints and martyrs who knelt before altars sanctified by Latin prayer.
With boldness, reverence, and fire, this is not just a podcast episode. It is a wake-up call. If you’ve ever wondered whether Latin was cast aside legitimately or whether something sacred was stolen under the guise of progress, this episode is for you.
The truth does not change. And it is time we stop pretending the Council said what it never did.
