"On the
one hand there is an explanation, which I want to mention 'hermeneutics
of rupture'. This often has the cooperation of the mass media, and also a
part of modern theology has made use of here."
Benedict XVI, Christmas 2005 speech to the Roman Curia.
Pope Paul VI said on 23rd June
1972 the following:
"... an emergency which We cannot and
must not keep hidden: in the first place a false and erroneous
interpretation of the Council, of those who want to break with the
tradition, even as regards the doctrine, an interpretation which goes so
far as the rejection of the pre-Conciliar Church and to the point of allowing the concept of a
'new' church, as if it were re-invented from the inside, as regards the
establishment of the Church, the dogma, the customs and the law." (Acta
Apostolicae Sedis (AAS) Year 64 (1972), p. 498).
