50 Theologians Petition Holy Father to Reassess Vatican Council

Edit: the following article in Dici is very interesting.   It's even more interesting in that a substantial number of theologians in Italy, not all of them associated directly with the SSPX are calling for what is suggested in the following letter:

[Dici]In his petition, Msgr. Gherardini wrote:

 “For the good of the Church—and more especially to bring about the salvation of souls, which is her first and highest law (cf. the 1983 CIC, canon 1752)—after decades of liberal exegetical, theological, historiographical and “pastoral” creativity in the name of the Second Ecumenical Vatican Council, it seemed urgent to me that some clarity be created by answering authoritatively the question about the continuity of this council with the other councils (this time not simply by declaring it so but by proposing a genuine demonstration), the question about its fidelity to the Tradition of the Church.”  …

It's an impressive group of men.
