Episode 3610: Has the Catholic Church changed since Vatican II? And if the Church is indefectible, how do we explain today’s crisis in Catholicism?

Has the Catholic Church changed since Vatican II? And if the Church is indefectible, how do we explain today’s crisis in Catholicism?

In this compelling episode, we welcome Griff Ruby, author of The Resurrection of the Roman Catholic Church: A Guide to the Traditional Catholic Community. Griff offers a deep and structured examination of the post–Vatican II era, the rise of the Traditional Catholic movement, and the theological questions surrounding sedevacantism.

For nearly 2,000 years, the Roman Catholic Church maintained doctrinal continuity rooted in Sacred Tradition and the Magisterium. Yet many faithful Catholics believe that the Second Vatican Council marked a turning point — one that led to confusion, fragmentation, and a loss of identity within modern Catholicism.

In this episode, we explore:

• The historical and theological impact of Vatican II
• What “Traditional Catholicism” really means
• The divisions within the traditional movement
• The sedevacantist position explained
• Whether the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church can still be visibly identified today

Griff Ruby brings decades of research in Church history, ecclesiology, and Catholic doctrine to this important conversation. A convert who discovered the Faith without a religious upbringing, he approaches the crisis in the Church not with bitterness, but with careful logic and a search for unity grounded in tradition.

If you’re interested in Catholic theology, Church history, Vatican II, traditional Latin Mass communities, or the future of Catholicism, this episode offers thoughtful analysis and a hopeful perspective.
