Description of “Uprooting the Vineyard”
For two millennia the Catholic Church stood as an invincible fortress protecting the faithful from the shoals of perdition. Then, in the early 1960s, parallel to the modern upheaval of social norms, it assembled a great council — Vatican II — to reconcile Christianity with the world. This unthinkable alignment between religion and secularism occurred despite the heroic struggle of half a dozen preconciliar popes to halt such a deviation. This incisive book by Mark Perry explains how the Catholic Church’s desertion of its heavenly mandate has hastened the moral collapse of Western civilization as well as the Church’s abandonment of the universal purpose of religion itself. Also included is an appendix of selections by the metaphysician and sage, Frithjof Schuon, on the nature of this historic betrayal and the remedy for its cure.

Reviews of “Uprooting the Vineyard:”

“As regards the central theme of the book, the unmasking of Vatican II, the author is implacable; few will dare to resist his unrelenting onslaught, but all will be enlightened.”
William Stoddart, author of Remembering in a World of Forgetting: Thoughts on Tradition and Postmodernism



Uprooting the Vineyard is the most deeply researched, trenchant, and cogent account of the consequences of the Latin Church’s fateful compromises with the modern world’s ‘false philosophies, ideals, and misbegotten values’, made at Vatican II and since. Mark Perry … situates his study in the context of the fundamental clash between Tradition and modernity, exploring issues that go well beyond the immediate predicaments of the Catholic Church. This is a book of urgent relevance.”
Harry Oldmeadow, author of Frithjof Schuon and the Perennial Philosophy



“This book presents a fascinating and detailed account of everything important involved with Vatican II, the greatest religious revolution of our age. Perry provides us with brilliant and cogent answers to many modernist ruses. Together with Rama Coomaraswamy’s The Destruction of the Christian Tradition, this is the best work on the subject.”
Mateus Soares de Azevedo, author of Men of a Single Book: Fundamentalism in Islam, Christianity, and Modern Thought



Uprooting the Vineyard explores the disastrous reforms of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), which have served to radically destabilize the Catholic Church and the modern West generally.… This will come to be seen as the definitive work on the subject, an achievement for which we owe Mark Perry a debt of gratitude.”
Samuel Bendeck Sotillos, author of The Quest For Who We Are: Modern Psychology and the Sacred
