Please read this pastoral letter from the Most Reverend R. Walker Nickless, Bishop of Sioux City, Iowa.
I believe this is an extremely important document that could give form to a very important discussion that the Church needs to have with itself & could serve as a banner for genuine renewal of Catholic Christian life. It is also guaranteed to draw hideous screeches from the heterodox dopplegangers hiding under the Catholic canopy. It is exactly the right thing at the right time.
Having been told, oh, about fifty-nine gazillion times that, "Oh, that's pre-Vatican II; we don't do that any more" or my favorite actual quote, "You're stuck in the past; I'm interested in the future," I cherish this statement:
"The so-called "spirit" of the council has no authoritative interpretation. It is a ghost or demon that must be exorcised if we are to proceed with the Lord's work."
