How much do you know about Cardinal de Lubac's theology? I mean from reading his books, not from SiSiNoNo or whatever.
It is clear that the Church is facing a grave crisis. Under the name of 'the new Church,' 'the post-conciliar Church,' a different Church from that of Jesus Christ is now trying to establish itself; an anthropocentric society threatened with immanentist apostasy which is allowing itself to be swept along in a movement of general abdication under the pretext of renewal, ecumenism, or adaptation. (Henri de Lubac, S.J., at the Institute of Renewal in the Church at the University of Toronto, August 1967)

He sounds all right to me.

Pope Pius XII, in Humani generis, warned that the new theologians taught modernism in a secretive way, "although they express themselves with prudence in their printed works, they nevertheless speak much more openly in their notes which they hand out in private..." (Humani Generis) This is why they are dangerous. They insinuate themselves carefully among the orthodox, but privately are extremely destructive. Pius XII thought this of DeLubac and he was therefore censured.

And Pius X said this about modernists in general: "They go their way, reprimands and condemnations notwithstanding, masking an incredible audacity under a mock semblance of humility. While they make a pretense of bowing their heads, their minds and hearts are more boldly intent than ever on carrying out their purposes - and this policy they follow willingly and wittingly, both because it is part of their system that authority is to be stimulated but not dethroned, and because it is necessary for them to remain within the ranks of the Church in order that they may gradually transform the collective conscience" (Pascendi)
