Matthew,
I was wondering if you know of any saints or blesseds after Vatican II? I ask this because I would like to see what their response to the Council was. I know of St. Josemaria, but are there any others? Perhaps not even people who have been officially venerated, but who lived lives of exemplary holiness?
Yours,
Ben.
Ben,
I do know that as of this point no priest/bishop that celebrated the New Mass has been canonized. Other than that, I do not know of many additional details.
