Post-Council, the natural son of the Council

Please visit Dici for a facinating look at Msgr. Brunero Gherardini's Vatican Council II: a Debate That Has Not Taken Place, a sequel to his The Ecumenical Council Vatican II: a Debate To Be Opened.

Msgr. Brunero Gherardini:

If we wish only to blame the post-Council, so be it, for it is not at all free of wrongs. But also, we must not forget that it is the natural son of the Council, and that it is into the Council that it has found the principles upon which it has then founded its most devastating contents, to the point to exhausting them.

  1. With respect, I suggest that the Church, in bringing in a new Mass translation for the OF, bring in some other things, too, for the OF, to wit, the Pre-Lenten Season, Ember and Rogation days, and ad orientem.

    Until the OF culture in the Church returns to an understanding of the 4 ends of the Mass, we're playing word games. I certainly hope the new translation helps bring this about; but I think it's part of a larger picture.
