Review # 1 was written on 2011-12-09 00:00:00 Dennis Taylor Jr I enjoyed reading the included writings of Kalinowski, although they were brief snippets and the biographical information wasn't terrible. However, the author seemed to have an agenda, as if he were trying to authenticate Vatican II (V2), and this made the book feel like propaganda. Not everything in the history of the world can be traced forward or backward to V2, however this author seemed to think that it can, and that in some odd way V2 is the ultimate cause of anything and everything good. As if the Church muddled her way through darkness, obscurity, and obtuseness until the magical light of V2 cleared everything up and gave us clarity, light, and truth for the first time ever. I would not recommend this book for this reason. If I read a biography about someone I want it to be about them. Not a cheer fest for the author's ideology.
