"He surprises us by his refreshing return to the simplicity and joy of the Gospel and he surprises us by his conviction that St. John Paul II was right: Vatican II is "a sure compass," guiding our church on the path of reform and renewal."
JPII states V2 was "a sure compass" and then goes about silencing all voices of church reform. I don't think so. PF is attempting to re-ignite the fires of reform started by V2 so the process will continue. JPII and Benedict were both counter-reform (and counter V2) in my book. The church still has medieval teachings on the books and until that changes the reform must continue.
