The Netherlands, a Few Years Later, Were Among the Reforming Episcopates at Vatican II


You know The Rhine Flows Into the Tiber by Wiltgen?

According to the book, the Episcopates of Italy and South America lost. The Episcopates of the "Rhine alliance" won ... that being BeNeLux, France, Germany, Austria, I think too.

The Ne in BeNeLux stands for Netherlands.

Now, take a look at Henk Heithuis. This happened under a bishop who, in fact, was not at Vatican II as such.

Willem Pieter Adriaan Maria Mutsaerts (18 Mar 1943 Succeeded - 27 Jun 1960 Resigned)
Wilhelmus Marinus Bekkers (27 Jun 1960 Succeeded - 9 May 1966 Died)

The Dutch wiki on Bekkers mentions:

Bekkers stopte informatie over geestelijken die seksuele vergrijpen hadden begaan in een geheim archief.


Bekkers put informations on clergy who had committed sexual abuses into a secret archive. Footnote one of the article goes to:

Ook in Nederland hielden bisschoppen en kardinalen misbruik in stand. NRC, 14 september 2018

The article is reserved for subscribers to NRC, I'm not that, but the title means "In the Netherlands too, bishops and cardinals enabled abuses" ...

I would say, that was not totally untypical of the Rhine alliance at Vatican II. Not untypical at all.

Apud Fabrianum, in Piceno, beati Silvestri Abbatis, Institutoris Congregationis Monachorum Silvestrinorum.

Is there a place in the Apocalypse which mentions "every unclean and hateful bird"? I think so. Get out of the Rhine Alliance. Get out of Vatican II.
