Vatican II, the pastoral synod which tried to please the world so that more will enter the church and had been very keen on pleasing the Protestants who didn't relish in what they label as Mariolatry; which for us was simple love and devotion to Mary, Mother of Christ.

All that the faithful cardinals could muster was that Truth that She is the Ultimate Exemplar. Thus, the six Protestant advisers assigned to influence the Council felt triumphant for the recognition due to the Mother of the Church Herself was mitigated if not mutilated.
