Theological Talks (SSPX - Vatican) in Rome

clipped from www.dici.org Interview with the His Excellency Bernard Fellay published in Fideliter, the magazine of the Society of St. Pius X in the District of France. In your opinion, are the theologians chosen by Rome representative of mainstream theology in the Church today? Or are they closer to a particular trend? Does their way of thinking align with that of Benendict XVI? Our interlocutors seem to me to hold very closely to the Pope’s positions. They belong to what we may call the conservative line, in that they advocate the most traditional possible reading of the Council. They desire the good of the Church but at the same time wish to save the Council:  that is like trying to square the circle. And yet, the debate over Vatican II is incontrovertible. Vatican II can be discussed; it must be. Shouldn’t we fear that these talks might end in joint declarations, in which the parties agree on common points, but do not resolve the underlying debates Joint declarations are out of the question.
