A church news item that struck me was the following about the ultra-traditionalist Society of St. Pius X (info about them) rejecting emeritus pope Benedict XVI’s interpretation of Vatican II using a so-called “hermeneutics of continuity.” After all the overtures from Benedict XVI to the traditionalist group to join once again Catholic communion, the group itself rejected his way of reading Vatican II stressing that Vatican II, in a significant sense, was something of a “rupture” from tradition.

Now this is tied up with the evaluation of Ratzinger’s legacy I wrote back in February when I mentioned that the extent of his generosity to the traditionalist group that flatly rejects Vatican II is scandalous. See:
