Religious Liberty at Vatican II and Before

These are groups who believe the Second Vatican Council was a massive repudiation of previous Church teaching on various topics.  Most of these claims boil down to complaints about abuses which occurred after the council, or bad interpretations of the documents – but not anything to do with the council itself.

The best argument for a contradiction is found in the Vatican II document on religious liberty, Dignitatis Humanae.  That's what I want to take a closer look at today.
