Funny thing... when I read these Vatican documents, in light of Tradition, they seem thoroughly orthodox. Then I run into some raving modernist nutter, who reads them in a spirit of looking for excuses, and she manages to twist them into all manner of heretical distortions. They're written in a bureaucratic gobbledygook style that gives too much room for misinterpretation, to those inclined to misinterpret.
Do you think the ambiguity is purposeful? I do.
