guns out of their hands. But unfortunately
the bad-guy conservatives kept getting more guns, and so there would be
another shootout maybe a week or two later.

As it turned out in some of the autobiographical things which he
later wrote, Kaiser had a very clear agenda from the very beginning.
One major part of that agenda was birth control. He had been poking
around in that area and making contact with certain theologians who
were privately or secretly supportive of birth control before the
Council. He had made contact with certain influential Belgian and Dutch
theologians. When he went to the Council he understood that there was a
liberal agenda, the modernist agenda as we've called it, and he was
going to use his magazine, Time magazine, to push it. And he did
so, and very effectively. Unfortunately theaverage American Catholic,
and this includes most priests and most nuns, learned what the Council
was all about more from Time magazine and The New Yorker
than from any other source.

There is a massive failure of education here on the part of the
Church. One would assume that given an event like the Council that the
hierarchy would have put into gear a massive educational project. They
would have been lining up books, they would have been training
teachers, they would have been announcing schools, workshops in every
parish, whatever. And they would have insured the fact that what was
presented to people as the authentic teaching of the Council really was
the authentic teaching of the Council. To an amazing degree this task
was neglected. There was, in fact, as far as I can see, practically no
systematic effort
