Yes, indeed. The Church and people were surprised that Pope John XXIII, a "caretaker" pope had called a council at all. Then there was the battle royal between the Orthodox Catholic bishops and the Modernists. The most surprising part of all was the fact that the Council was basically ignored after it was over, and most of the changes put into effect were "in the spirit of Vatican II", a "spirit" which every recent pope from Pope Paul VI onward has defined as Satanic. Popes John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI made valiant efforts to get the Church back on track, and now Pope Francis has taken up the task.
