[Perigrina]

LifeSiteNews recently did an interview with historian Roberto de Mattei author of The Second Vatican Council - An Unwritten Story http://www.amazon.com/The-Second-Vatican-Council-Unwritten/dp/1622920023?tag=viglink125431-20

Mattei, who recently spoke at the Cosmos Club in Washington, D.C., said that since Vatican II started, "on a theoretical level, the Church has not changed her doctrine."

However, Mattei says that "on the level of pastoral practice, the victor of the battle is not [Pope] Paul VI, but Cardinal Suenens." Suenens is famously known as the Cardinal who advocated against the release of Humane Vitae, and wanted Vatican II to lift the Church's ban on contraception. 

According to Mattei, "contraception is widely used by Catholic couples with the backing of confessors, moralists, bishops, and even bishops' conferences." He also said that Suenens' influence is felt "in the universities," where "the texts which are most closely followed" are those Mattei says "replaced the objectivity of the natural law." 

 

It sounds like he has an interesting perspective.

Vatican Li is the best name I've ever heard for a Chinese convert to Catholicism.
