Two brief examples concern the Councils treatment of the Churchs relationship with the Jews, and its assessment of the heretical communities vis-à-vis salvation. In other words, it simply is not reality to say that such parts of the conciliar statements possess value, temporary or otherwise. Doctrinal ambiguities (much more doctrinal errors) serve no purpose other than to obscure the truth (read: Christ), ultimately leading souls astray. As such, simply consigning the conciliar text to that which had value in a day-gone-by is not by any means a way forward; rather, the ambiguities and errors must be identified and condemned outright. Furthermore, the Holy See, properly speaking, has not over-estimated the Council; rather, the post-conciliar popes (and those in positions of authority in the Church in union with them) have simply accepted the conciliar text for what it says and acted upon it. In other words, it was in allowing the conciliar text to inform their words and deeds almost exclusively for nearly five decades that the popes gave rise to a new church that scarcely resembles the Holy Catholic Church, even as it operates under its name.
