As part of his position is easily supported by previous cited quotes from Ratzinger and the Catholic Encyclopedia, I would certainly defend his statement:

<>I am glad you are backing away from\m supporting it in its entirety.<>

Father Blet noted that members of the Society had been very warmly received during the Holy Year, but that things have slowed down a little since then due principally to the question of accepting Vatican II. He added that "this was not an impediment given that the Council had not promulgated any binding dogmatic definition. Everyone therefore has the right to examine what he feels able to accept..."

If you mean the following is protestantism:

"Everyone therefore has the right to examine what he feels able to accept..."

then I do agree that he appears to be leaning in that direction, but as I have read his work before, I know that is certainly not characteristic of him.

To some extent though, a lot of this hinges on how you define "religious submission of intellect and will".

Have you come across any sensible definitions of what this means?
