I didn’t say otherwise; my point, I guess, is that if the initial intention had been to interpret the vague Vatican II documents consistent with Holy Tradition and with previous councils, none of the nonesense would have happened.

The vagueness merely opened up an opportunity to a modernist impulse that had been previously bottled up.

I remember reading something about V II years ago that said the "reformers" had their agenda set and ready to push through while most of the bishops were "still finding their seats and getting used to the Latin." I wish I could remember where I read it -- it would certainly explain the maneuvering room that made it into the documents.
