Down farther in the letter is an interesting line:

The Church’s teaching authority cannot be frozen in the year 1962 this must be quite clear to the Society. But some of those who put themselves forward as great defenders of the Council also need to be reminded that Vatican II embraces the entire doctrinal history of the Church. Anyone who wishes to be obedient to the Council has to accept the faith professed over the centuries, and cannot sever the roots from which the tree draws its life.

What does that mean? That the pre-Vatican II anti-semitism has to be kept as the “root” of the Catholic church? This pope makes me a little nervous. When I was growing up, Vat II was put forward as a revising out of doctrine that caused damage to others or themselves… Now he is saying that they’re keeping all those “roots”?
