Is Vatican II too traditional for Cardinal Rodríguez Maradiaga? If not, why is he misquoting Lumen Gentium to fit his modernist narrative?

By Christopher A. Ferrara

As

we approach the first anniversary of the election of Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio to the papacy, we are hearing almost daily the ominous vroom-vroom of an engine of novelty warming up for the final lap to the finish line of the Second Vatican Disaster. One breathless report last week sums up the world’s ecstasy over this pontificate and its blatant catering to the mass media:

Rumours of revolution are swirling through the streets of Rome and the frescoed halls of Vatican City.

Doctrinal conservatism is out — compassion is in.

Ten months into his papacy, Pope Francis is setting in motion what looks like seismic change in the Catholic Church, although the outcome of this revolution is difficult to predict….

Francis, it seems, has a three-pronged strategy: He's leveraging his public media appeal to realign the overall "message" of the church; he’s dismantling a dysfunctional Curia; and he’s rebuilding a new kind of Church.
