Vatican II's ecclesiology fails to recognize the Catholic Church as the one true church established by Jesus Christ, and instead holds that the true church "subsists in" the Catholic Church in an unclear way. This contradicts Pope Pius XII's Mystici Corporis Christi and other papal documents.
Vatican II's ecumenism aims at a pan-Christian religious unity which does not require non-Catholics to convert to the Catholic faith. This contradicts the teachings of the Bible, Pope Pius XI's Mortalium Animos, Pope Pius XII's Humani Generis and other documents.
Vatican II's acceptance of the principle of religious liberty is in contradiction to Pope Pius IX's teachings in Quanta Cura and the Syllabus of Errors.
Vatican II's revision of the Mass liturgy of the Roman rite de-emphasizes the central Catholic doctrines that the Mass is a true sacrifice and that the bread and wine are changed through transubstantiation into the body and blood of Jesus Christ, the Mass has been stripped of important prayers, the Mass is centered on the congregation rather than on God, the Mass is less beautiful and spiritually edifying, and the Mass omits certain Bible readings that mention subjects such as Hell, miracles, and sin.
Vatican II's inappropriate emphasis on the "dignity of man", which ignores original sin and the need for supernatural grace, and which has led to a utopianism that sees world peace as possible without recognizing the kingship of Christ. This contradicts Pope Pius XI's Quas Primas, Pope Leo XIII's Rerum Novarum, and other papal and conciliar documents.
Vatican II's teaching on collegiality that attributes to the bishops of the world a share, with the Pope, of responsibility for the Church's governance in a way that is destructive of papal authority and encourages a "national" church mentality that undermines the primacy of the Holy See. National bishops' conferences, whose influence was greatly increased following Vatican II, diminishes the personal responsibility of bishops within their dioceses.
Vatican II's new and critical attitude towards the Bible that contradicts Leo XIII's Providentissimus Deus and Benedict XV's Spiritus Paraclitus, among other documents.
Vatican II's departure from the traditional belief that the Church and the world are at variance with one another to some degree, and that the Church has enemies. Pope Pius X's warnings in Pascendi Dominici Gregis, Leo XIII's Humanum Genus and other papal warnings against Freemasonry and other alleged enemies of Christianity have gone unheeded.
