"blah blah blah since Vatican II". You either dishonestly or ignorantly cast B XVI as a rigid traditionalist when--in point of fact--he was merely the least heterodox of the post conciliar popes. Was it not then Father Ratzinger who said we needed to "raze the battalions" of Catholicism? Was he not compelled to re work part of his post doctrinal thesis because of modernist content? Was he not an aide de camp to the notorious Father Karl Rahner at VII? You may not like the Pope Emeritus, but please don't make it seems as if he was ready to get the racks out of the Vatican basement.
