I think that Pope Benedict was  and is a wise man, light years of those who have been formed by the myopic media. He was a supporter of the fundamental reforms articulated by the Council, but at the same time he was not a liturgical Bolshevist, and worked on the-admittedly difficult- concept of the peaceful coexistence of the old liturgical form with the newer one (the ordinary form of the Latin Rite). This corresponds to his  conception of hermeneutics of reform in the unity of the subject Church (falsely reported as "hermeneutics of continuity," which term seems to suggest  a mere conservative spin on the Council). Give it time.
