He mentions as “great figures of the Council” people like Henri de Lubac, Yves Congar, Karl Rahner and as "important theologians" Hans Urs von Balthasar, Heinz Schürmann, Rudolf Schnackenburg, and Johannes Feiner, although they had a ruinous influence on the Church.

Father Joseph Ratzinger, pope Benedict XVI, pope-emeritus was, is and will be a modernist until the end of his days - he can't do otherwise. This is the reason why the Roman papacy had to be dissolved. The era of such a Church as we knew it was definitively closed. The Great Whore sits on the Vatican Hill and blurs the traces of the former splendor of the Roman Catholic church. Pope-Emeritus participates in this work. More details in the Revelation of Saint John.

HOLD ON! I had Dr. William May as a professor at the (old, i.e. true) John Paul II Institute. He was heroic. He never ceased to teach the Truth. His many books are gems. Do we not see here that Pope Emeritus Benedict was a closet modernist? Interesting.
