In his Motu proprio, the Apostolic Letter Spiritus Domini Pope Francis interprets Vatican Council II with the false premise and not without it. The Council interpreted with the irrational premise creates a break with Tradition. This is overlooked by the conservative Catholics.

 


Part of Vatican II renewal

The Motu proprio is accompanied by a letter addressed to the Prefect of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, Cardinal Luis Ladaria, in which Pope Francis explains the theological motivations behind his decision.

The Pope writes that “within the spectrum of renewal traced out by the Second Vatican Council, the urgency is being ever more felt today to rediscover the co-responsibility of all of the baptized in the Church, and the mission of the laity in a particular way.”-  Earthquake: Francis decrees women can occupy the former Minor Orders of Lector and Acolyte | Update: Full Text of Motu Proprio

In his Motu proprio, the Apostolic Letter Spiritus Domini Pope Francis interprets Vatican Council II with the false premise and not without it. The Council interpreted with the irrational premise creates a break with Tradition. This is overlooked by the conservative Catholics. So Pope Francis repeats the same message as Pope Benedict. They are saying here that if in principle Vatican Council II ( interpreted irrationally) could change de fide teachings of the Church which supported exclusive salvation, why cannot there be an institutional change in Minor Orders and have women as altar servers ?

Pope Francis is not saying that in principle a false premise cannot be used to interpret Vatican Councl II and so there is no development of doctrine.

Similarly in the past Pope Francis and Cardinal Kasper did not say that an objective error was made in the interpretation of Vatican Council II. Instead Cardinal Kasper said that Vatican Council II( with the false premise) has changed Church ecclesiology and so he asked why cannot the Eucharist be given to the divorced and re-married. -Lionel Andrades
