Rorate Caeli has just published a really excellent article about Traditionis Custodes and its place in the wider and far reaching conflict over the understanding of the place and legacy of Vatican II in the life of Church. I do urge my readers to take the time to read, learn and inwardly digest what it says.
Written by “A Concerned Priest” it emphasises why the TLM is a key point of dispute as to whether or not Vatican II could, or did, effect a rupture in the teaching of the Catholic Church. It also shows how Pope Benedict XVI sought by his argument for a Hermeneutic of Continuity to preserve the total unity of the Church by seeking to integrate, or provide the support for integration, of Vatican II into the totality of the Catholic faith and dogma as opposed to those who think, erroneously, that the Council could make the Church into something different from what went before.
The article is too long to reproduce here in extenso so I will give the link to it at Cancelling Pope Benedict: Reflections on a recent article and the “hermeneutic of rupture”
