Remember Mr Cricket? Flipping off the entire world? Loathing the people who desire traditional worship? Drowning wonk shouting for attention?
Keep in mind what I have been saying. For Solum Vaticanum II extremists, the imagined spirit of the Council gives permission to reinterpret everything before the Council. Everything.
From a reader…
Andrea Grillo continues to show his cards. He writes in a comment to a critic of a recent (Nov. 8) article of his:
“The analogy between the Tridentine rite and marriage nullity is based on the need to translate tradition. What was delivered to us by the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century no longer has any structural evidence. The ‘fiction’ of nullity is only an extreme case of a theology of marriage conditioned not by Scripture or theology but by the Tametsi Decree. The inability to distinguish between these levels is the ‘meanness’ at play. That only marriage justifies the use of sex is a Pauline view that history has profoundly altered. And it calls for a profound rethinking, even as the Second Vatican Council inaugurated with the liturgical reform and with the rethinking of the Church, the Word, and the relationship [of these] with the world.”
