Il me semblerait que le fond de la controverse repose sur la question si l'herméneutique de la continuité suffit à interpréter intégralement Vatican II, ou bien si elle n'est (avec des lunettes +/- roses) qu'un respectueux manteau de Noé jeté sur les amollissements et les débordements partiels des rédacteurs conciliaires.
(…) those who appealed to the Holy were just as willing to implement SP as anyone else.  What they did not want was the problematic ideology represented by de Mattei and RC, and this is what was at issue with the particular implementation of SP in our community and the way it was attempted.
Regarding Vatican II
This has been a concern among many of us since the General Chapter of 2008, and particularly since the end of 2010, when the Institute became, not merely the premier religious Institute representing the implementation of SP, but one that gave a platform to those who wished to call into question the very possibility of a real hermeneutic of continuity in regard to Vatican II.  RC infers agreement with the bogus claim of Roberto de Mattei that Pope Benedict’s December 22, 2005 address was an invitation to such questioning.  And that is precisely the way in which the Italian press understood the situation.  A firestorm of controversy erupted in public as a result.
In fact, as Andrea Tornielli notes, during Pope Francis meeting with us, he referred to the theological work of Archbishop Agostino Marchetto as representing for him the most sound defense and explication of Pope Benedict’s hermeneutic of continuity.  It should be noted that Archbishop Marchetto and Inos Biffi publically refuted Monsignor Brunero Gherardini and Roberto de Mattei in the pages of the L’Osservatore Romano.  I repeat, the controversy become a matter of public interest because of the platform our Institute provided those who were publically questioning the very possibility of applying a hermeneutic of continuity to Vatican II.
