Reverence Became Taboo’ — Fr. Perricone Reveals How Everything Changed After Vatican II

He was ordained a half-century ago. He remembers when reverence was expected, when the tabernacle was central, when Catholics knew what they believed and why. Then came the changes, and everything flipped.

Father Richard Perricone joins John-Henry Westen to chronicle the transformation that has left the Church unrecognizable. Reverence became taboo. The sacred became optional. The priesthood became confused. And the laity, trained for generations to trust their shepherds, were suddenly told that the faith they had received could be rewritten, reimagined, or simply abandoned.

Perricone does not blame Vatican II alone. He blames what came after: the systematic dismantling of Catholic identity by men who saw tradition as an obstacle and ambiguity as a virtue. The loss of the Latin Mass. The sidelining of the tabernacle. The confusion over confession. The collapse of religious orders. The silence of bishops who should have spoken.
