Si je puis me permettre trois catégories ;

En lecture ecclésiastique mais guère spirituelle, les journaux de Mgr Joseph Clifford Fenton, théologien américain (il n'y a pas d'oxymore), 1906-1909, consulteur de plusieurs congrégations romaines, qui jettent une riche lumière sur le concile dont nous vivons encore les conséquences.

Quelques citations (oui, c'est en anglais) :

“If I did not believe God, I would be convinced that the Catholic Church was about to end.”
(Nov. 23, 1962)

We should, I believe, face the facts. Since the death of [Pope] St. Pius X the Church has been directed by weak and liberal popes, who have flooded the hierarchy with unworthy and stupid men.

This present conciliar set-up makes this all the more apparent.

As far as I can see the Church is going to be very badly hurt by this council.

The sense or feeling of this gathering seems to be entirely liberal. I am anxious to get home. I am afraid that there is nothing at all that I can do here. Being in the council is, of course, the great experience of my life. But, at the same time, it has been a frightful disappointment. I never thought that the episcopate was so liberal.

This is going to mark the end of the Catholic religion as we have known it.

...some other people believe what I have thought for several months, namely, that John XXIII is definitely a lefty. This nonsense to the effect that he is ‘deceived’ or ‘mal servite’ is disgraceful. He is the boss.” (Nov. 25, 1962)“

M [Fr. John Courtney Murray] has just come in to see the triumph of his false doctrine [of religious liberty].” (Sept. 21, 1964)“

[Mgr.] Joseph Quinn just told me that the H.O. [Holy Office] is being abolished and that Card. Ottaviani will not be the head of the new, non-supreme, congregation which will take its place. The old man is being humiliated. He is a saint.” (Nov. 21, 1964)
