natural and necessary consequence of the Council, the assortment<br />

of bad fruit from the poisoned tree that has ensured the<br />

continuity and legality of the actions of Paul VI and John<br />

Paul <strong>II</strong> as Popes. This leads to a clear conclusion: a Third<br />

<strong>Vatican</strong> Council led by a Repairer Pope [Pope with the intention<br />

of repairing the damage].<br />

However, the current Pope, Benedict XVI, repeated to<br />

the participants of the Clerical Congregation of March 16,<br />

2009, the need to return to the uninterrupted church tradition,<br />

and to “promote among the priests and in particular in<br />

younger generations an appropriate acceptance of the texts<br />

from the Second <strong>Vatican</strong> Council, interpreted in light of all<br />

the doctrinal baggage of the Church.”<br />

In his “Letter” dated March 10, 2009, he said:<br />

«... we must remember that the Second <strong>Vatican</strong><br />

Council contains the entire doctrinal history of<br />

the Church. Whoever wants to obey the Council,<br />

must also accept the faith professed<br />

throughout the centuries and cannot cut off the<br />

roots of this living tree.»<br />

Thus, according to Benedict XVI, <strong>Vatican</strong> <strong>II</strong> is only credible<br />

if it can be seen as a part of the whole and unique tradition<br />

of the Church and Her Faith.<br />

The speaker of the Holy See, Father Lombardi, commented<br />

on January 15, 2010: “The conclusions of the Second<br />

<strong>Vatican</strong> Council and in particular of the “Nostra Aetate”<br />

document are not in question”. Then, he clarified<br />

that as the Pope has repeatedly explained, adopting the<br />

teachings of the Council (and of “Nostra Aetate” as an essential<br />

document from the Council) is a condition to<br />

achieve true ecclesiastical communion.<br />

For us, instead, <strong>Vatican</strong> <strong>II</strong> is in contradiction with the<br />

Church’s tradition. In fact, the Council represented a “new<br />

Pentecost”, a “charismatic event” that has remade the<br />

Church, freeing it from Tradition.<br />
