"If all aspects of a council are precluded from any such discussion, on the assumption that all aspects of all councils are somehow sacrosanct and divinely inspired, then we do a disservice to the pursuit of truth and a remedy, in my opinion."
That is a very significant statement coming fom a clergyman associated with EWTN. Maybe some pennies are starting to drop!
That is precisely why I saved it when I saw it. Some Catholics will dismiss anything they hear from what they perceive to be a "Trad", but they usually respect the opinions offered on EWTN. If Fr. Echert says this publicly, it makes me wonder what he says privately.
