The Second Vatican Council, itself, did not have that big an impact on the Americas, however, the wreckovation done by progressive bishops and priests pretty much killed the Church in the Americas. When the Second Vatican Council first met, the Church in the Americas was vibrant and growing. The religious Orders were overflowing, nearly every parish had a parish school, and Catholics were noticeably different from the culture around them. Since the "implementation" of Vatican II, churches have closed, schools have closed, convents and monasteries have closed, and the few that are still open are dying. There is a revival among some dioceses that have sought to implement Vatican Council II as it was meant to be done, and these dioceses are growing, their seminaries and convents are starting to fill, and Catholic families are again starting to live as Christians. However, these is a vanishingly small number, within the next 20-30 years, the Church in America will not be recognizable.
