Cardinal Ratzinger on Ecumenical Councils
“Not every valid council in the history of the Church has been a
fruitful one; in the last analysis many of them have been just a waste
of time,” ...
“The last word about the historical value of Vatican
Council II has yet to be spoken.”
Joseph Ratzinger, Principles of Catholic Theology: Building Stones for a Fundamental Theology, (Ignatius Press, San Francisco, 1987), p. 378.
