No compromise on Vatican II: Fellay

We will not make any compromise on the Council. I have no intention of making a compromise.

The truth does not tolerate compromise. We do not want a compromise, we want clarity regarding the Council. I would say that we must transcend the Council to return to that which the Church has always taught, and from which the Church cannot separate herself, and in a certain moment we must transcend the Council which intended to be pastoral, and not doctrinal.

We wish to concern itself with the mutable situation of the Church.

But things change, and so many things of the Council are now worn out.

I might say that I do not see union even in the Vatican. The problem in the Church of our age is not us. We have become a problem only because we say that there is a problem. Besides, even if we may give the impression of opposing or even contradictory declarations, there are no internal fractures.

For example, on the Council, we may say that almost all of it is to be rejected. But it may also be said that what is possible should be salvaged. But we all can never say the same thing.

The Council is a mixture: there are good things, and bad. Even the Pope, when he maintains that a hermeneutic of continuity is to be desired, that he does not want a rupture, rejects the Council interpreted as rupture.
