Bishop Gruber was a participant in Vatican II, & a professor of theology at a German seminary in the 1940's & 1950's--a very difficult time to be a faithful Catholic in Germany under the Nazis. He begins his book with a brief, but very convincing, comparison of the times of St. Athanasius & the days following Vatican II. Intense persecution of clergy & laity who held to the full truths of the Catholic faith was the "name of the game." Infiltration of the Church by those intent on its destruction is also clearly evident during both eras. Bishop Gruber knows the enemy's game plan very well & lays it out for all interested persons. Benedict XVI was a friend of Bishop Gruber, & there is no doubt that the Holy Father is aware that he is living in the midst of an intrigue bent on the destruction of the Church he loves with all his being.
